HAPPY 29 OCTOBER REBUPLIC DAY

Dear Colleagues,

Celebrating its 101st anniversary, our Republic, “the land of waifs”, is the greatest value of all 85 million of us. Founded on October 29, 1923, we commemorate our great leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and all his comrades-in-arms, veterans and martyrs with gratitude for this important value left to us, and we bow with respect in front of their cherished memories.

As the world's largest tourism professional organization, we are committed to our profession in order to repay our debt of gratitude to our homeland and our founders, and we attach great importance to developing our country's tourism in line with the requirements of the age.

We are working hard to carry our tourism sector, which shows Turkey's modern and contemporary face to the whole world, and therefore our country, to higher levels.

While carrying out these efforts, adding value to tourism and making our profession more qualified are among our primary goals. In this context, with our accumulation and experience of more than half a century, we have implemented many projects and practices that raise service standards in tourism, and we will continue to do so.

As a constitutional institution, TÜRSAB, with all its duties and responsibilities, will continue to work for our country with all its strength as it has done so far.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely congratulate all our colleagues and citizens on Republic Day.

Firuz B. Bağlıkaya
TÜRSAB President of the Board of Directors
