Travel Planning and Support for International Visitors to Türkiye

Turquaz Travel services for international visitors to Türkiye

 
 

Helping International Travelers Bring the Pieces of a Türkiye Journey Together

A trip to Türkiye can involve far more than choosing a flight and hotel. A medical traveler may need hospital appointments to fit around airport transfers and accommodation. A family may want a private itinerary instead of a fixed group tour. A business delegation may need hotels, transport, interpretation, meetings, and event logistics coordinated around the same schedule.

Turquaz Travel works in that coordination layer. It is a Türkiye-based destination management company and licensed travel agency that brings together local travel, accommodation, transfers, tours, medical-travel logistics, visa support, wellness stays, business programs, and other arrangements through one local team.

Turquaz Travel Acts as the Local Organizer Behind the Journey

Turquaz Travel operates under TÜRSAB licence A-12334 and is part of Turquaz Group. Its travel business is based in Türkiye, with a head office in Ankara, liaison presence in Istanbul and Antalya, and a Nigeria office in Abuja.

The company serves individual travelers, families, groups, medical travelers, businesses, institutions, and international travel agencies. Its current company profile reports 15+ countries served, 5,000+ travelers, 35+ tour packages, and 10+ years of experience.

What makes its role different from booking one isolated service is that Turquaz can coordinate several parts of the same stay. The hotel, transfer, tour, hospital appointment, business meeting, or local activity may still be delivered by separate providers, but Turquaz manages how those parts fit together within the itinerary.

 
WHY THE TRIP EXISTS

The Journey Can Be Built Around Why You Are Going to Türkiye

Turquaz does not work with only one type of traveler. The structure of the trip can change depending on whether the purpose is medical care, leisure, wellness, a pilgrimage, a business event, professional training, or a trade exhibition.

A leisure traveler may want hotels, transfers, guides, sightseeing, and private touring. A medical traveler may need those same travel elements connected with hospital appointments and a companion's stay. A company may need ground handling around conferences, meetings, interpreters, and event production.

This is where Turquaz's wider DMC model becomes relevant: the company can shape the travel arrangements around the reason for the visit instead of treating every traveler as if they are buying the same package.

MEDICAL TRAVEL

For Medical Travelers, the Hospital Is Only One Part of the Trip

Turquaz Travel operates a medical-tourism division under the Turquaz Health branding and publishes a network of 60+ partner hospitals and 900+ specialist doctors.

The medical network covers areas including oncology, general surgery, neurosurgery, cardiology, orthopedics, organ transplant, fertility and IVF, plastic surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, pediatrics, hematology, radiology, and senior or palliative care.

Turquaz's role is to connect that healthcare side of the trip with the practical arrangements around it. This can include appointment coordination, accommodation, airport transfers, visa assistance, and support for an accompanying family member or companion.

Turquaz Travel does not perform medical procedures. The medical care itself is provided by partner hospitals and licensed doctors, while Turquaz coordinates the travel and logistics around the stay.

A Companion's Stay Can Be Planned Alongside the Patient's

Medical travel often affects more than the patient. A family member may need accommodation, airport pickup, local transfers, or a schedule that keeps them close to the hospital during treatment and recovery.

Turquaz's medical-travel support allows accommodation and travel arrangements to be organized for both the patient and an accompanying person, while hospital appointments remain coordinated with the relevant medical provider.

This lets the medical journey be treated as a complete stay rather than as a hospital appointment separated from everything that happens before and after it.

02

Not Every Traveler Wants a Fixed Türkiye Itinerary

Turquaz offers both scheduled group travel and private itineraries, allowing the trip to be shaped around dates, interests, destination choices, budget, and group size.

Its current programs cover destinations such as Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Bursa, Sapanca, Ku?adas?, ?zmir, and the Aegean coast.

Depending on the written offer, an itinerary may bring together hotels, airport transfers, intercity transport, licensed guides, sightseeing, selected meals, and other booked activities.

The final written offer matters because only the services specifically included in the itinerary, voucher, or quotation form part of the confirmed package.

 
WELLNESS

Some Trips Are About Rest, Recovery, or Wellness Rather Than Sightseeing

Turquaz Travel also organizes stays around thermal resorts, spa hotels, detox programs, longevity experiences, yoga retreats, hammam experiences, nature-focused wellness, and other wellness-oriented travel.

Its current portfolio groups 48 wellness properties across destination wellness, urban luxury wellness, thermal and medical wellness, and Sapanca nature and wellness.

These stays should still be distinguished from medical treatment. A wellness resort or thermal program does not by itself mean that clinical care is being provided unless a healthcare provider is separately involved.

Visa Support Can Be Added to the Travel Arrangement

For travelers who need visa assistance, Turquaz provides support as part of its travel service for clients purchasing a tour package.

The published process can include an eligibility check, document preparation, internal review, and help around appointment or group submission. The current standard service fee is USD 250 and includes in-person appointment assistance.

Turquaz does not issue Turkish visas and does not guarantee approval. The visa decision remains with the relevant Turkish authorities, and current official requirements should be checked before travel.

Türkiye Can Also Be the Setting for Business, Training, or a Delegation

A significant part of Turquaz Travel's work is built around people traveling for business rather than holidays.

The company coordinates meetings, incentive travel, conferences, exhibitions, trade delegations, corporate events, and professional training programs. Depending on the program, this can involve hotels, ground transportation, meeting schedules, interpreters, technical production, catering, signage, delegate handling, and local activities.

For a company or institution arriving from abroad, Turquaz becomes the local destination manager linking the program together rather than requiring the visiting organization to arrange each local supplier separately.

03

Special-Interest Travel Can Become the Main Reason for the Trip

Turquaz also develops trips around interests that do not fit a standard city-tour itinerary.

Christian pilgrimage programs include routes connected with the Seven Churches of Revelation, St. Paul, Ephesus, Cappadocia, Nicaea, Pergamum, Smyrna, Thyatira, the Basilica of St. John, and the House of the Virgin Mary.

Other programs include golf travel in Belek, Bosphorus and coastal cruises, destination celebrations, private events, and selected sports-related travel.

These are different reasons for traveling, but Turquaz's role remains similar: combining local accommodation, transport, activities, guides, and other arrangements around the purpose of the visit.

FOR TRAVEL AGENCIES

International Travel Agencies Can Use the Same Local Infrastructure

Turquaz Travel also works behind the scenes for international travel agencies that need a local operator in Türkiye.

Its B2B offering includes confidential rates, commissions, ready-made or custom itineraries, visa-document support, and ground handling. The company has a particular focus on African markets and publishes agency support in English, French, and Portuguese.

In this model, the international agency may remain the customer's main travel relationship while Turquaz manages the Türkiye portion locally.

The Written Offer Defines What Turquaz Is Actually Booking

Turquaz's formal booking terms make the written quotation especially important.

A reservation becomes confirmed after the required deposit or full payment is received and written confirmation or a voucher is issued. The exact price, deposit, services, and validity period are defined in the written offer or proforma invoice.

Although the website advertises a 25% deposit option, its formal conditions state that the required deposit depends on the individual offer. Balance payment is generally due 30 days before arrival unless different terms have been agreed.

International flights, travel insurance, personal expenses, optional excursions, tips, unspecified meals, or other items should not be assumed included unless they appear in the confirmed package.

Changes or Cancellations Can Depend on Both Turquaz and the Supplier

Turquaz publishes a standard cancellation schedule, but some hotels, airlines, events, cruises, or other suppliers may impose stricter terms.

Cancellation timing Published charge
45+ days before arrival Deposit only, non-refundable
44–30 days 25%
29–15 days 50%
14 days or less / no-show 100%

Certain airline tickets, cruise fares, visa charges, event tickets, hotel rates, permits, and other prepaid third-party services may remain non-refundable regardless of the general schedule.

Turquaz Coordinates the Trip, but Other Providers Still Deliver Their Part

Destination management does not mean Turquaz owns every service involved in the journey.

Hotels provide accommodation, airlines operate flights, hospitals and doctors provide medical care, and other local suppliers may provide transport, activities, venues, or specialist services.

Turquaz's role is to organize those confirmed services and manage how they connect within the trip. Its formal terms also distinguish the company's responsibilities from acts or omissions of independent suppliers outside its reasonable control.

What Turquaz Travel Can — and Cannot — Take Off Your Plate

? What it can do

Turquaz can bring multiple travel arrangements into one locally coordinated itinerary, whether the purpose is treatment, leisure, wellness, pilgrimage, business, or an event.

It can coordinate accommodation, transfers, tours, local logistics, visa assistance, hospital appointments, business programs, and other confirmed services where they form part of the booking.

? What it cannot do

It does not provide the medical treatment delivered by partner hospitals and doctors.

It does not issue or approve Turkish visas.

And it does not replace the individual hotels, airlines, venues, healthcare providers, or other suppliers responsible for delivering their own services.
