    Plan your trip

    Visa & entry documents

    Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

    Visa not required
    ATA Carnet: check with organiser

    Visa-exempt status and e-Visa eligibility depend on your passport and purpose of visit, and Türkiye applies reciprocity so the regime changes between nationalities. U.S. citizens can enter for tourism stays under 90 days without a visa, while other passports need an e-Visa or a Turkish consulate application; check the Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa information page and evisa.gov.tr before booking.

    Official visa page

    Weather

    İzmir has a mild coastal winter in December: daytime highs near 14 C, night lows of 6-7 C, and about 115-143 mm of rain spread over roughly 13 rain days. December is the city's wettest and most humid month, so plan for cool, showery conditions during the 2-4 December 2026 show and keep indoor meeting options flexible.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Mobile coverage is strong across İzmir; buying a Turkish eSIM or prepaid SIM on arrival gives reliable business data because public Wi-Fi in Turkey is often hit or miss. Check roaming or local data plans before travelling if you need dependable video calls from the show floor.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Greetings and business cards

    Turkish business culture is warm but relationship-led: greet with a firm handshake, use titles and surnames until invited otherwise, and offer and receive business cards with your right hand or both hands. Brief small talk over tea or coffee is normal before commercial discussions begin.

    Tipping and payment

    Tipping is customary rather than obligatory — around 5–10% in restaurants and cafés and a small round-up for taxis. Cards are widely accepted in İzmir hotels, restaurants and at the fairground, but keep some Turkish lira cash for taxis, kiosks and İzmirim Kart top-ups.

    Dress and punctuality

    Smart-casual business dress is standard at İzmir trade fairs — jacket with open collar for daytime meetings, business formal for evening receptions. Punctuality is appreciated, and hospitality is generous, so it is polite to accept an offered tea even briefly.

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: ADB

    Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Gaziemir; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.

    Visa

    Türkiye runs an online e-Visa system (evisa.gov.tr) for eligible nationalities, with the application typically completed in about three minutes; many passports are visa-exempt while others must apply at a Turkish embassy or consulate. Business and tourism regimes can differ, so confirm your own passport category before travelling to TTI İzmir.

    Estimated cost: Not yet confirmed

    Processing: e-Visa applications are usually decided online in about three minutes, 24/7; embassy or consulate visa applications take longer and vary by nationality.

    Apply only through the official government portal at evisa.gov.tr to avoid third-party copycat sites, and travel with a passport valid for at least six months. Carrying a printed e-Visa and hotel confirmation speeds up arrival processing at İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport.

    Parking: On-site parking is available at Fuar İzmir; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: December 2026

    Temperature: Daytime highs around 14 C (57 F); night lows around 6-7 C (43-45 F) in December on the İzmir coast.

    Seasonality: December is İzmir's wettest and most humid month, averaging roughly 115-143 mm of rain across about 13 rain days.

    Packing: Pack layers, a waterproof jacket or compact umbrella and closed shoes for cool, wet days; coastal evenings drop to around 6 C, and indoor hall temperatures can feel cold between sessions.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 — Thursday 3 December 2026

    The middle day carries the fullest programme: once opening-day formalities are over, Congress sessions, hosted-buyer appointments and exhibitor meetings all run at peak density, and most international delegations are still on the floor before Friday departures.

    12

    Confirm your visa regime and apply for a Türkiye e-Visa if required — Check your passport category on the official portal at evisa.gov.tr; eligible nationalities are processed online within minutes, others need a consulate appointment, and passports must be valid six months beyond travel.

    11

    Book flights into İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) — ADB sits about 8 km from Fuar İzmir, so an airport-side arrival keeps transfers short for the 2-4 December 2026 show dates.

    10

    Reserve a hotel in Gaziemir or central İzmir for 2-4 December 2026 — Gaziemir properties such as Luis Otel İzmir, La Vista Hotel, Park Milano Hotel and Svalinn Hotel sit 2.5-3 km from the halls; confirm rates in Turkish lira for show week.

    9

    Complete online visitor registration and collect your free entry card — TTI İzmir issues free visitor entry cards through the official site; hosted buyers should use the separate hosted buyer registration channel and apply early for limited places.

    8

    Download the hall plan and exhibitor list — Use the official hall plan page to map stands by destination and product segment before you arrive, so floor time is spent on priority suppliers.

    7

    Request meetings with exhibitors and national tourism boards — Email target exhibitors with your buying brief and travel dates; hosted buyer and matchmaking channels fill up well before December.

    6

    Shortlist TTI Stage congress sessions — The TTI Stage programme has previously run around 23 sessions covering sustainable tourism, local government's role, health tourism and the future of world tourism.

    5

    Arrange airport transfer or İzmirim Kart for public transport — Load İzmirim Kart credit for metro, İZBAN, tram and ESHOT buses serving the venue entrances, or book a taxi for the short 8 km run from ADB.

    4

    Pack for a wet İzmir winter and a trade-fair dress code — December brings about 115-143 mm of rain over roughly 13 rain days with daytime highs near 14 C; bring a waterproof jacket, umbrella, layers and business cards.

    3

    Print or save visa, e-Visa, hotel and registration confirmations — Keep digital and paper copies for airport arrival and badge collection, together with your passport valid for at least six months.

    2

    Confirm meeting times and download the updated programme — Re-confirm appointments with exhibitors and note any late session changes on the organiser site before travelling.

    1

    Arrive, collect your badge and walk the halls — Arrive early on day one for badge collection and security screening at Fuar İzmir, then use the hall plan to cover priority stands before scheduled meetings.
