About The Fair

In the fair, where the touristic potential of our country will be evaluated and promoted, summits will be held especially on Cultural Tourism, Thermal and Health Tourism, Camping and Caravan Tourism. It is obvious that Ankara has a cumulative tourism potential of approximately 10 million, with its city and surroundings, especially its being a capital city, the presence of politicians from various levels, and its foreign mission. In addition, direct flights of national, domestic and foreign airlines, high-speed trains and transportation facilities have made Ankara a hub. We think that TRAVELEXPO ANKARA is important in terms of location in order to reveal the Tourism and Cultural infrastructure of our provinces.
In cooperation with the Turkish Health Tourism Council, with the support of the TR Ministry of Commerce, an area has been reserved where 200 foreign professionals will be hosted for B2B meetings. In addition, a special section has been established in cooperation with the Turkish Camping and Caravan Association. With the significant contributions of the Turkish Camping Caravan Association, caravan and equipment manufacturers and importers operating in the field of Camping and Caravans will participate in the fair with stands, and conferences and panels will be organized to inform the visitors about this branch of tourism.
It is aimed that the fair, which will be attended by more than 15 countries, as every year, will be an event where the cultural and tourism potential of our country, neighboring and surrounding countries will be promoted, and bilateral meetings will be organized where private professionals and sector representatives from abroad will come together.
