In cooperation with Talya Bilişim, one of the strongest solution partners of the tourism sector, and ATİD (Anatolian Association of Ankara Tourism Operators), tourism professionals came together in Ankara and the latest technologies were introduced. Talya Bilişim, the creator of the Elektraweb brand, offers significant advantages to the sector by connecting hotels and agencies with its newly developed elektrahotels Platform.

Elektrahotels, which offers a very serious time, convenience, efficiency and advantage to the tourism sector, has been met with great interest both at home and abroad.
Human-oriented technology
Nilüfer Durukal, Managing Partner of Talya Bilişim, stated that digitalization is an indispensable element in the competitiveness of hotels today and said, "It is unthinkable to stay away from digitalization in today's hotel management approach. Hotels are in a fierce race to make the most of and adapt to this transformation. Based on the fact that product development and differentiation are of vital importance, companies that are the solution partners of hotels need to move forward by prioritizing the concept of user-friendliness and keeping all communication channels open. While technology is growing at a dizzying pace, being people-oriented is the most important issue. Technology is a tool and exists to serve people. While developing solutions, it is always necessary to proceed with human needs in mind."
