The programme covers practice tours planned for the Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, Black Sea, Eastern Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia regions. The tours are expected to take place in September, October and November.

Each tour group must have at least 40 participants for the programme to proceed. Programmes that do not receive sufficient applications may be postponed or cancelled.

Regional tourist guides who obtained their licences through Ministry courses or TUREB certificate programmes must have worked actively as tourist guides for at least two years in the region stated on their licences.

How to Complete the Application

Tourism guidance students and graduates must begin the registration process through TUREB’s student application system. Following identity verification, applicants must enter the requested contact details and upload the required documents.

Once the documents have been reviewed and approved by TUREB, applicants may proceed with the remaining registration steps outlined in the official announcement. Applicants must contact the relevant travel agency to complete the final registration process.

As the availability of single rooms is limited, applicants requesting single-room accommodation should indicate their preference during the application process. Tour dates, departure points and accommodation arrangements may also be changed when necessary.
