TIF 2023

The Tourism Investment Forum (TIF2023) is set to take place at the Raffles Hotel in Istanbul on November 29, 2023, under the auspices of the Tourism Investors Association, bringing together key players in the tourism sector.

TIF2023, the most significant investment event in our nearby geography, was conceived with the vision of elevating the Turkish tourism sector to global leadership. In this context, for the third time this year, the event assumes the mission of encouraging our domestic investors to establish a presence in the international market and attract foreign investors to Turkey.

TIF2023 is organized around pivotal topics that will shape the future of tourism investment: Directing the tourism sector, providing sustainable support, strengthening the financial structure, creating support for exports, and identifying steps for the future to reveal global tourism chain brands from Turkey.

The forum also aims to develop new and innovative investment models in collaboration with its participants.
