Türkiye accepts ATA Carnets for temporary admission of exhibition stands, display material and professional equipment; list the ANFAŞ Antalya Expo Center as the venue and have the carnet validated before departure.
Official visa pageWeather
October is one of the most comfortable months in Antalya: daytime highs reach 24–27°C, evenings and early mornings cool to 15–18°C, and the Mediterranean stays near 24°C for swimming. The first autumn rains return after the dry summer, with around 80 mm falling across roughly six wet days — usually short, heavy showers rather than all-day rain. Pack light cotton business-casual clothing for the halls, a light jacket or cardigan for the evening, comfortable walking shoes for the expo centre and a compact umbrella for occasional showers; sunset falls around 18:30, so plan outdoor dinners and site visits before dark.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Greetings and business etiquette
A firm handshake and direct eye contact are standard when meeting Turkish partners; exchange business cards with both hands and use titles plus surname until invited to use first names. Small talk over Turkish tea or coffee normally precedes business discussions, and relationship-building is treated as part of the negotiation.
Tipping and payment
Restaurants and cafés typically expect 5–10% gratuity and taxi fares are rounded up. Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and the expo centre, but carry some Turkish lira for buses, taxis and small vendors, since AntalyaKart and cash remain the norm on public transport.
Dress and hospitality
Smart-casual business dress suits both the fair and Antalya's resort venues; modest clothing is respectful at religious sites such as the mosques of Kaleiçi. Accepting an offer of tea or coffee is a valued gesture of hospitality, and punctuality for scheduled meetings is expected.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
