HolidayCheck, which has had the widest reach as a booking and comparison platform in the German-speaking regions for over 20 years, has established a joint stock company, Holiday Destination Services (HDS), to manage all its tourism activities in Türkiye.

With more than 12 million reviews, HolidayCheck offers comprehensive transparency in vacation planning and enjoys great trust among German holidaymakers. HolidayCheck's initiative in Türkiye is part of its strategic growth plans in the field of tourism.

The Chairman of the Board of Holiday Destination Services is Hasan Yiğit, who has successfully served as a manager in many renowned companies in the tourism and hospitality industry. Ertan Sakallı, who has extensive experience in the tourism sector, has been appointed CEO and Board Member of the new destination management company (DMC), which will manage all of HolidayCheck's tourism activities in Turkey, and will ensure that HolidayCheck's high standards are maintained.

Christian Kaschner, CEO of HolidayCheck Touristik GmbH, said: “Türkiye is a market of great importance for us. By establishing Holiday Destination Services we are sending a clear message: We not only want to expand our presence in the region, but also to take the vacation experience we offer our customers to a new level.”

Noting that Ertan Sakallı and his team have the best partners to achieve the goals they have set, Kaschner said, “Holiday Destination Services will set new standards in customer service. Customers will be able to benefit from trips tailored to their wishes and needs. This will not only be limited to typical tourist experiences, but will also offer an authentic look at the culture and beauty of Turkey.”

Underlining that Holiday Destination Services will also play an important role in raising awareness of the HolidayCheck brand in the region, Kaschner emphasized, “Our new venture will position the HolidayCheck brand as the leading provider of holiday experiences in Türkiye through targeted marketing strategies and excellent services.”
