The fourth edition of the "Turkish Tale" brought 25 select travel agencies from across Russia to the Aegean, highlighting the TimeServices–PAC Group partnership and goals for the 2027 season.
TimeServices and PAC Group, two of Türkiye's key tourism partners in the Russian market, held the fourth edition of their traditional "Turkish Tale" programme, bringing together 25 select travel agencies from different regions of Russia. Hosted by Anda Barut Collection and Maxx Royal Bodrum, the programme welcomed agencies that had reached their sales targets, with the aim of strengthening existing partnerships, showcasing Türkiye's destinations, and reviewing goals for the 2027 season.
Opening the programme, TimeServices General Manager Sezgin Özer welcomed the guests and thanked PAC Group's management and the participating agencies. Highlighting the importance of the Russian market for Turkish tourism, he stressed the role of strong partnerships and mutual trust in sustainable success, and shared TimeServices' goal of growing together with its partners and achieving new successes in 2027.
PAC Group CEO İlya İtkin pointed to the results of the strategic cooperation with TimeServices, noting that PAC Group's capacity in Türkiye has grown by 30% thanks to their joint work. He thanked TimeServices for its focus on customer satisfaction, its operational support, and a successful partnership, and also thanked the agency partners who contributed to PAC Group's success.
During a plaque ceremony, İtkin presented plaques of appreciation to TimeServices and to the agencies that achieved their targets. The management of host hotel Anda Barut Collection was also recognized, with plaques presented to General Manager Korhan Kelebek and Sales Director Adnan Süveren for their support.
The first part of the programme took place at Anda Barut Collection in Didim, giving Russia's leading travel professionals a close look at the area's rising tourism potential. The programme also showcased the Aegean's key destinations — Didim and Bodrum's natural beauty and accommodation options, and the rich historical and cultural heritage of Ephesus — underlining that Türkiye offers far more than sea and sun.
The fourth "Turkish Tale" concluded with a grand finale at Maxx Royal Bodrum, where participants experienced first-hand the level of service Turkish tourism reaches at the top end of the market. The programme closed with a shared message for 2027: TimeServices and PAC Group aim to support Türkiye's position in the Russian market through strong partnerships and to achieve new successes in the coming season.
