We Aim to Expand Abroad in 2017 (Tourism & Investment Magazine, January 2017)

We have been participating in EMITT every year since 2006. This year, I did not expect such a great interest. Considering what is said about the economy and tourism, EMITT has shown the exact opposite. I can say that EMITT is currently the star of fairs in Turkey. For Talya Bilişim, 2016 was the year our new products were launched. Most importantly, we took significant steps abroad. We established the infrastructure of our office in the Netherlands. We launched our new product, a complete portal solution for travel agencies by Talya’s sister company ERS, internationally. We participated in tourism fairs in London and Berlin. Elektra has surpassed 3,000 hotels, and we continue to work with major groups. We had a very good year in 2016 and grew instead of staying with the same turnover. For 2017, our goal is to expand abroad. It is now time to realize our plans for going overseas. We will probably have launched the European office. I hope this structuring will bring us good business in 2017 as well. The identity reporting law changed. Accordingly, we made a very downsized version of Elektra for small hotels, dormitories, nursing homes, and daily rental houses. This product will also be a very attractive and well-received solution.
