Tourism Real Estate

Hospitality and tourism-facility investment, not a holiday home purchase

Tourism real estate covers hotels, resorts, boutique hospitality properties and other tourism-licensed facilities (turizm işletme belgeli tesisler) bought, developed or repositioned as a business — a materially different undertaking from purchasing a personal holiday apartment, which falls under FTurkey's residential property service instead. FTurkey's tourism real estate consulting supports investors evaluating this kind of hospitality asset, and coordinates with the licensed professionals and authorities a transaction or development of this scale actually requires, within an agreed written scope.

Tell us the type and scale of investment you are considering

Share whether you are looking at an existing operating hotel or resort (an acquisition), a site for new tourism-facility development, or a distressed or underused property you would reposition and re-license for tourism use. Include the target region, scale (room count or land area), your intended operating model — self-operated, leased to a management company, or franchised under an international brand — and your investment horizon. Tourism-facility development and operation is regulated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and zoning for tourism use is a separate, specific classification from ordinary residential or commercial zoning.

Coordination across licensed professionals and authorities

A project at this scale typically involves a licensed real estate agent or investment broker for sourcing, a licensed appraiser for valuation, an architect and engineers for any construction or renovation, legal counsel for the transaction and any corporate structure, and the tourism-licensing process itself with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. FTurkey can coordinate introductions to professionals suited to the project's location, scale and language needs, and help organise the resulting information into a single, comparable picture for your decision; FTurkey does not itself hold a tourism operating license, does not broker the transaction, and does not certify the property's compliance with hospitality-sector building codes.

Practical support within the agreed scope

Within an agreed written scope, FTurkey can help assemble a preliminary comparison of shortlisted opportunities, organise the due-diligence documents a lawyer and appraiser will need, and track the tourism-license application or transfer process alongside the relevant professionals. Corporate structuring for the investment (a Turkish company is often used to hold and operate a tourism facility) is coordinated with legal and accounting professionals under its own scope.

Timelines, scale and what cannot be promised

A hospitality acquisition or development project of this kind typically runs over months rather than weeks, and depends on seller or authority responsiveness, the complexity of due-diligence findings, construction or renovation scope, and Ministry review of the tourism-license application; none of these timelines are controlled by FTurkey. No purchase price, financing terms, license approval or investment return can be guaranteed at any stage.

Request a proposal

The work involved depends heavily on the scale and type of tourism asset, its location and your intended operating model. Request a quote describing the investment you are considering, and FTurkey can propose a written scope and coordinate introductions to the licensed professionals the project requires.
