Türkiye continues to be a major destination, welcoming more than 50 million international visitors annually and generating more than €65 billion in tourism revenue.
For New Zealand travellers, Türkiye offers history, culture, cuisine, landscapes and experiences. For the 40-plus market in particular, the destination provides the opportunity to travel more deeply, whether exploring Istanbul and the ancient sites of Ephesus or many other historical sites. Gallipoli remains a significant drawcard for New Zealand and Australian visitors, particularly for those with family connections to the Anzac story.
Managing director Robyn Galloway says Innovative Travel has developed deep relationships with its Turkish partners over more than three decades, helping travellers experience the destination with the benefit of local knowledge and established connections.
‘We offer more than 20 different holidays in Türkiye, giving travellers the flexibility to choose how they want to explore,’ says Galloway.
‘Our programmes include small-group and coach tours. Many of the company’s tours are guaranteed to operate with a minimum of just two passengers, providing agents greater confidence when making their plans. Türkiye à la carte for independent travellers and bespoke private holidays mean our clients can choose an itinerary that suits their interests, travel style, and pace.’
