Everything started 39 years ago with a dream. This dream was to lead Turkey’s tourism sector with our own understanding of quality, and to contribute to the further development of our country’s tourism, within the scope of our field, to reach the level high it deserves…

Because we were aware of the potential of our country. We were aware that Turkey is a tourism paradise with all its aspects, and deserves much higher levels in world tourism with its magnificently beautiful towns, wonderful facilities, infrastructure and manpower.

In order to realize this dream, continuous training of personnel at all levels, following and absorbing all innovations and being a pioneer in some of them, setting and implementing standards, always prioritizing customer satisfaction and working hard with patience were required. In this way, Alabanda began to be called a “school” in the sector and this gives us an indescribable pride.

The satisfaction expressed by all our customers is our success criterion.

We are happy to see that our corporate customers can plan and control all their travels within the framework of their company policies, thanks to the solutions we have developed.

Inspired by the name of an important Ancient Carian City, “Alabanda” we convey our experience to all our stakeholders and try to give direction and speed to the sector, as the maritime term “İskele Alabanda”  “speeding the ship to the target” reminds us.

Being aware that the real satisfactory peak is in the hearts of our customers, we know that the main thing is not to reach the top, but to stay there.

Alabanda continues its 39-years consistent development with these thoughts and is proud to be at the service of our valued customers and our country.

The leading company of the sector, Alabanda Tourism CO. Inc. has been accelerating its efforts for its customer’s satisfaction, since 39 years with the same determination, goodwill and persistence, combining its experience with its future vision.

The name Alabanda has two origins: First; It is a nautical term and means “to give the ship full speed in a certain direction”. The second is; The important Ancient City of Carian civilization “Ancient City of Alabanda”, our “namesake” in Aydın Çine. Within the scope of our mission to protect the cultural values ​​of Anatolia, we are proud of the ancient culture of Alabanda and we happily continue to cooperate with the local authorities for the excavation procedure.

At every stage of your travel and event organization, our team, at Alabanda’s offices in Ankara and now at the Esenboğa Airport – all having an amateur spirit but professionally equipped- will be with you.

Our 39 years of experience is your guarantee, your satisfaction is our happiness.
Hope to meet you in healthy days, happy trips and events.
