Prime Travel: 1 Million Room Sales with 'Unlimited' Tourism
Prime Travel's Managing Director Haluk Kayhan answered the questions of press members at the Antalya Tourism Fair. Mr. Kayhan stated that the company participated in ATF for the second time and said, "Antalya Tourism Fair is a truly useful fair."
Haluk Kayhan hosted a presentation at Prime Travel's booth, discussing the company's operations and objectives. Stating that for 7 years Prime Travel, which has been engaged in tourism 'not bound by country borders', has been selling rooms all over the world:
While being a Turkish company, we specialize in global tourism. This year, we have achieved over 1 million Room Night sales.
Before the pandemic, we expanded our presence worldwide with the Bedsopia brand in Dubai, selling to all the countries whose borders were opened. All our operations rely on technology. Following the establishment of Bedsopia, we created another company called Goodotel in New York. Goodotel is an online travel agency (OTA) specializing in selling American hotels.
This year, we're making another breakthrough by establishing a new company in Spain. This accomplishment is the result of two years of planning and infrastructure development. The new company will serve both B2B and B2C markets.
"We are interested in all countries of the world. We are from Turkey, we live here, we grew up here, and our company was founded here. But we have no borders. We do not set a target to sell to a single destination. We can sell all destinations from Indonesia to Argentina."
Working Directly With 30 Thousand Hotels Around The World
Stating that they work directly with 3,500 hotels in Turkey and 30,000 hotels worldwide, Mr. Kayhan stated,

Globally, we maintain direct partnerships with approximately 30,000 hotels. This number represents our direct collaborations, and there are roughly 750,000 hotels that we sell.
In this global landscape, it's crucial to maintain a technologically diversified infrastructure, especially when dealing with various exchange rates and time zones. Our systems need to operate with exceptional speed and efficiency to meet the demands of this dynamic environment.
We Should Be A Global Player
Mr. Kayhan, in response to journalists' questions, made the following statements:
"We are a 7-year-old company based in Antalya, and we've been actively participating in all the major international fairs.
This year, we are delighted to be taking part in the Antalya Tourism Fair for the second time, and we're proud to be a Silver Sponsor. I can see that the event is even more bustling and lively than last year, and it's progressing excellently. It appears to be a highly beneficial platform for everyone involved, generating a significant buzz.
Our company is open to collaborating with other businesses. We firmly believe in the value of constructive competition as part of our company culture.
The tourism industry, much like other sectors, is continually advancing through technological innovations. These technologies will continue to evolve, and we can expect new solutions to cover a wide range of traveler needs, from A to Z. There are exciting applications on the horizon that will further streamline the travel process."
