Throughout the week, attendees explored historic sites such as Mustafapasa Village, Pasabag and the Zelve Open Air Museum. They also took an early morning hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia’s valleys and visited Kaymakli Underground City. The trip aimed to strengthen ties between U.S. tour operators and Turkish tourism companies, while reinforcing USTOA’s commitment to responsible travel.
