“

Tour operator is our main branch and operating mainly 75% of the business from Asia. This is my first time here at Emitt and I’m very pleased being here, meeting a lot of people. Especially the networking which there are a lot of local supplier which I never met. I think it is very useful for us. We visit different exhibition during the year, like in Berlin ITB or in London, our hometown, WTM. Emitt is also good experience for us.

I am a tour operator which is “Blue Voyage”. We do research for discovering best locations in the world. My expectation was to meet a lot of people and have collaboration like tour operators from Turkey that can collaborate with the Italian market. I found many exhibitor that are interested to Italian market. The exhibition was really well served. All the services really high level and the organization was super. All the transportation, accommodation was perfect.

I’m happy that I am here to be guest of your exhibition. Actually, it’s my first time in your country and it’s also my first time in this exhibition but I’m very happy because I see that this country has very big possibilities to increase tourism and to have a great cooperation together. I met a lot of professionals, not only from Turkey and not only from Europe, but also from Asia and that means that Turkey has arranged a really good job. Everything you were promised, it is done perfect. I will be happy to come again next year.
