Why Should I Invest In Tourism In Turkey? 

It is an indisputable fact that Turkey, with its large volume in the field of Tourism in the last 10 years, is a tourism and investment paradise that includes many cultures and languages. Turkey is the 4th most popular holiday destination in the world with its location between Asia and Europe, incredible turquoise sea shores, hospitable culture and expert workforce. With extensive legal regulations protecting investors and providing investment incentives, now is the right time to invest in Turkey. For this purpose, we have compiled the points to be considered and the currently most suitable tourism resorts.

What To Consider When Investing In Tourism In Turkey?

First of all, you need to determine the size, goals and limits of the investment you will make and find out which of the broad government incentives in this direction will suit you. As Kula Law Firm, we can assist you in this process and together we can determine the most suitable scale, the most suitable city and potential areas for you. The process requires careful consideration of many details, from government incentives to tourism licenses, building restrictions, company transfers, personnel and housing needs. We briefly explain these important points for you below.

Should The Company Be Taken Over Or Should A New Company Be Established In Tourism Invesment? Is It Better To Get A New License?

First of all, in this process, it is necessary to register the feelings of their company in order to purchase a ready-made business, it is faster and more affordable than registering a new company information and a new license. Although we provide services such as obtaining tourism certificates and related licenses on your behalf, we believe that the transfer of the company is more profitable for investors.

Can We Take Over Workers During The Takeover Of The Company? What Is The Need For Lodging?

It is possible to take over the workers of the companies you acquire by taking over their shares, by protecting their rights. For this, we can prepare all the legal grounds and ensure smooth transition of workers by reviewing their old contracts.

The biggest problem of regions where seasonal investments are generally made is the need for housing for workers. In investment areas, which are mostly holiday resorts, accommodation areas are limited and expensive during peak seasons. For this reason, it is vital for the sustainability of the investment that the business to be invested in has a lodging. 

Are There Regulations That Protect Foreign Investors In Turkey?

Yes, foreign investors are protected by many legal regulations, especially the Foreign Direct Investments Law No. 4875. Regulations in investment and development in tourism continue and many additional rights and special incentives are provided to foreign investors in return for their investments.
