One of the key platforms for the future of tourism — the World Travel Market (WTM) in London — has come to an end. The fair, held from 4 to 6 November 2025 at ExCeL London, brought together leading destinations, industry representatives and thousands of professionals. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus presented its stand, which became a centre of attention: visitors showed strong interest in the island’s natural beauty, cultural heritage and historical treasures.
The TRNC stand, organised as part of tourism promotion and marketing efforts, attracted tour operators, agencies and the media. Guests could learn about a peaceful and unique holiday in Northern Cyprus, as well as opportunities for new routes. According to the organisers, interest in the region grows every year, confirming the sustainability of TRNC tourism policy.

He met with TRNC Minister of Tourism, Culture, Youth and Environment Fikri Ataoglu, MP Ahmet Savaşan and tourism sector leaders.

Minister Ersoy's visit inspires new steps."
