Heya Travel

What Heya Travel does

Heya Travel is a privately held Istanbul-based travel and corporate event agency operating under TÜRSAB Tourism Agency document number 10080. The company delivers an integrated suite of services to corporate clients across Turkey, structured around a core MICE bundle (Meetings, Incentives, Congresses, Events) that includes Event management, Congress organization, International Event coordination, and Shuttle/transfer services, supplemented by a standalone Flight Ticket agency line for domestic and international individual and group bookings. The firm also offers operational renting (with driver) and broader corporate organization services described as "A-to-Z" solutions for management meetings, motivation trips, trainings, and prize trips. The customer base is corporate, with a published "References" page indicating a "Corporate Customer Portfolio," though no specific client logos, contracts, or case studies are disclosed in publicly available material.

The business operates two Istanbul office locations — Koşuyolu Caddesi No:80 in Kadıköy (primary) and Brandium Residance R1 Blok No:152 in Ataşehir — supported by a professional in-house team and specially designed shuttle vehicles. Revenue mechanics span professional-services fees (event/congress organization, operational renting, shuttle/transfer) and transaction-based commissions (authorized flight ticketing leveraging airline partnerships for advantageous pricing). No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the company states an intent to use "all the technology provided for the sector" but offers no API, app, developer portal, or documented AI/automation tooling. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed across any service line.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, targeting Turkish and international corporate buyers needing bundled travel and event solutions, with international congress attendance and special training trips extending the addressable footprint beyond Turkey. The firm holds no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no patents or trademarks, and no named management team in the source material — consistent with a small, independent, owner-operated agency rather than a scaled platform business.

Core offering

Heya Travel is a TÜRSAB-licensed Istanbul-based travel agency that designs, organizes, and executes corporate travel and MICE programs end-to-end, including meetings, incentive trips, congresses, events, international trips, and related shuttle/transfer services for corporate clients. It also operates as an authorized ticketing agency for domestic and international flight bookings (individual and group) and delivers broader Corporate Organization Services covering operational renting with driver, transfers, prize trips, and international business trips. Revenue is generated through service fees on event/MICE execution, shuttle/transfer services, and commissions on flight ticket sales.

Product overview

Heya Travel operates as a single integrated travel and corporate event service rather than a multi-product software platform. Its core offering is the MICE bundle (Meetings, Incentives, Congress, Event), which groups four sub-services — Event, Congress, International Event, and Shuttle — under a unified corporate organization umbrella, complemented by a standalone Flight Ticket service. Together these offerings deliver end-to-end corporate travel, transfer, congress, and event management delivered by the same in-house professional team.
