Travel Convention to take place in Bodrum in 2023

Abta’s Travel Convention will take place in Bodrum in 2023.

The venue for next year’s event was announced as the 2022 convention closed in Marrakech on Wednesday.

The 2023 convention will take place from October 30 to November 1 at the Lujo Hotel, an all-inclusive resort with an on-site convention centre.

Turkey previously hosted the Travel Convention in Antalya in 2012 and Istanbul in 1996.

Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer said: “I am excited that Bodrum will be hosting the 2023 Travel Convention. This wonderful resort town is a much-loved destination that I’m sure will continue to grow in popularity. The Lujo Hotel is a superb new arrival on the scene, and one that I know our delegates will relish experiencing.

“This is the first time that Bodrum will have hosted Abta’s Travel Convention, but the third time we will have visited Turkey in our event’s history, which shows just how much this country has captured the hearts of UK holidaymakers.”

Yalçın Lokmanhekim, general manager of the Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency, said: “The UK is a market of strategic importance to Turkey. Bodrum is a very popular Turkish destination for British visitors, and is easily accessed through a wide choice of flights from airports across the UK.

“It offers many stunning beaches, wonderful cuisine, plentiful shopping, and is steeped in history. We look forward to welcoming representatives from the UK travel industry to Bodrum next year.”
