Türkiye’s Embassy in Cairo announced that the Trabzon-Cairo B2B Tourism Meeting, held in Egypt’s capital, took place with strong participation from Egyptian tourism agencies.
According to a statement from the Trabzon Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TTSO), the program held in Cairo from Nov. 4 to 7 was organized in cooperation with TTSO and the TÜRSAB Eastern Black Sea BTK, with the support of the Trabzon Governor’s Office, Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality and the Trabzon Commodity Exchange. Forty companies from Trabzon, comprising agencies and hotels, met with approximately 265 Egyptian companies, holding around 1,000 business-to-business meetings.

“Trabzon is a bold and entrepreneurial city”
TTSO said Ambassador Salih Mutlu Şen, speaking at the opening of the business meetings, noted that Trabzon has distinguished itself in politics, literature, intellectual life, shipping, industry and football, describing the city as “one of Türkiye’s most active, entrepreneurial, successful and ambitious cities.”
Şen said Egyptian tourists might want to shop in a Muslim country, spend their holidays peacefully, and experience rain and cool weather. Saying that “Trabzon has the characteristics to meet all these expectations,” Şen expressed his belief that the meeting would be an important step in encouraging Egyptian tourists to choose Trabzon.

Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ahmet Metin Genç, Trabzon Deputy Governor Ali Yılmaz, TTSO Chairman Erkut Çelebi and Trabzon Commodity Exchange Chairman Eyyüp Ergan also attended the opening. Çelebi thanked the Embassy in Cairo among the institutions that contributed to the organization.
