Cappadoce Tour

What Cappadoce Tour does

Cappadoce Tour is a privately held Turkish corporate travel agency founded in 1976 as Kapados Turizm and headquartered in Istanbul. The company delivers comprehensive business travel management to corporate clients through five core service lines — flight ticketing, hotel reservations, visa consultancy, group event organization, and ground transfers/car rental — enabled by IATA membership (held since 1991) and a global supplier network spanning 1,400 domestic Turkish hotels and nearly 500,000 international hotels. Its primary customer segment is enterprise corporate accounts, with a secondary vertical specialization of over 30 years in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors. The business operates on a sales-led B2B model, assigning dedicated account representatives to each corporate client under multi-year contractual relationships, supported by 24/7 service availability.

The company's central technology asset is the proprietary Cappadoce Portal (portalcappadocetour.com), a web-based travel management platform developed in-house. Because the software is owned and built internally, it can be customized to each client's specific travel policies, configured to individual company workflows, and integrated with external accounting (Muhasebe) and HR systems. Functional modules include reservation management, invoice tracking, centralized visa/passport data storage for forward-looking requirement checks, and reporting. The platform is positioned as a self-service layer for existing corporate clients beneath the dedicated-representative relationship layer, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based commissions on flight tickets and hotel bookings, supplemented by service fees for visa consultancy and corporate event/group organization. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to individual client requirements rather than publicly tiered, with billing under multi-year contracts. The company operates 11 departments across 2 Istanbul offices with a headcount reported as 30 employees (Turkish website) to 50 employees (English website), holds TÜRSAB A-group certification as a top-tier Turkish travel agency, and is led by Chairman Tahir Acer. No external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership has been disclosed.
