ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE EXTENSION OF THE APPLICATION PERIOD OF THE FIRAT TOUR SUPPORT PROGRAM

According to the letter sent to our Association by Fırat Development Agency;

The implementation period of the 2023 Fırat Tour Support Program, which was announced by Fırat Development Agency (FKA) on 22 September 2023 in order to revitalize tourism in TRB1 Region (Malatya, Elazığ, Bingöl, Tunceli), has been extended until 31 May 2024.

As a result of the consultations with travel agencies, it was concluded that the region has opportunities to be included in the tourism ecosystem as a new destination and that these opportunities should be utilized. In this respect, the 2022 Euphrates Tour Support Program was designed and successfully implemented in order to turn the region into a new tour destination.

In 2023, it is aimed to provide accommodation support to travel agencies in order to develop and brand tourism destinations in the Upper Euphrates Region and to include the region, which was affected by the 6 February 2023 earthquakes, back into the tourism ecosystem.
