The Antalya Tourism Fair 2024 (ATF24), is set to open its doors for the sixth time, offering tourism professionals and visitors a unique experience filled with special events and innovative activities.
Scheduled for October 23-25, 2024, at the Antalya International Fair and Congress Center, this three-day event promises to be a pivotal gathering for the tourism industry.
With an anticipated attendance of 30,000 professional visitors, ATF24 reflects the significant role the tourism sector plays in Turkey’s economy as it enters its second century. The fair will host crucial discussions, new agreements, solution-seeking initiatives, and information sharing sessions, making it a must-attend event for those in the tourism field.
Under the theme of “100% Turkey, 100% Tourism,” the fair will feature panels, workshops, presentations, social experiences, and B2B meetings across five different stages. This comprehensive program aims to foster a vibrant dialogue among tourism professionals, highlighting the collective power and excitement of the industry.
Since its inception in 2019, the ATF series has continued to unite the tourism sector, even amidst the challenges of the pandemic. This uninterrupted journey has cemented the Antalya Tourism Fair’s reputation as the most productive tourism fair in Turkey and the Mediterranean, gaining national and international significance.
The fair’s strategic marketing approach, minimalist design, and the vision that “tourism is a matter of homeland” have made it the first tourism fair in Turkey dedicated solely to professionals. This year’s event will bring together tourism stakeholders over three days to strengthen communication, accelerate solution strategies, and pave the way for new partnerships.
With over 10,000 foreign travel agencies and 60,000 professional visitors since its inception, ATF Turkey has established a significant place in Turkey’s tourism history. Last year alone, the fair attracted 23,600 professionals from 58 countries, showcasing its growing global impact.
