Tüyap was established in Istanbul on June 28th, 1979. The main field of operation of the company has been to organize fairs within and outside Turkey, and the initial events were held at the Istanbul Sports and Exhibition Palace and the Etap Marmara Hotel in Taksim, Istanbul. However, the rapid expansion of projects and a focus on trade shows quickly brought a need for a larger exhibition space. The Tüyap Istanbul Exhibition Palace in Tepebaşı was opened on March 30, 1987, and the world-class Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Center was commissioned in 1996 to provide a long-term solution to a need for a state-of-the-art fair venue.
In 2010, Tüyap made additional investments to add three new halls to the Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Center, reaching an indoor capacity of 98,000 m2 and an outdoor exhibition space of 75,000 m2. With its 12 halls, the Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Center is the largest and only private fair venue in Turkey. Parallel to its growth in Istanbul, Tüyap began to invest in Anatolia and commissioned fair and convention centers of Bursa in June 2002, Konya in May 2003, Adana in June 2006, and finally Diyarbakır in August 2008.
In its 32nd year, Tüyap is one of the leading fair organizers in Turkey and across the world with domestic offices in Adana, Ankara, Bursa, Diyarbakır, Eskişehir, Gaziantep, İzmir, Kayseri, Konya, Samsun and Trabzon, foreign offices in Aleppo, Moscow, Sofia, Tehran, Tbilisi and Skopje, and an international network of representatives in 31 countries. Pursuant to the Quality Management System adopted by Tüyap, the company holds the TS EN ISO 9001:2008 Quality Certificate since 2002. |
