What Alanya Ticaret ve Sanayi Odası does

Alanya Ticaret ve Sanayi Odası (ALTSO) is a TOBB-accredited non-profit chamber of commerce founded in 1991, serving 6,561 registered member businesses across 24 professional committees in the Alanya district of Antalya, Turkey. The organization operates with a lean staff of 12 employees and delivers statutory and support services including trade registry, capacity reports, export/import documentation, arbitration, vocational competency testing via the Voc-Test Center, and intellectual property consultation in partnership with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office. ALTSO also functions as a regional economic data publisher, producing the annual Alanya Economic Report continuously since 1992, the quarterly ALTSO Magazine, and the ALTSO Akademi educational initiative.

ALTSO's technology stack centers on the e-Altso online portal (eoda.altso.org.tr) for electronic member services, supplemented by the Altso Ticaret Portalı B2B platform, Altso WebTV media channel, the Sürdürülebilir Turizm Projesi (Sustainable Tourism Project via Travelife), mobile applications, and social media presence across Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and X. The chamber maintains ISO 9001 quality management certification and TURKAK accreditation, and runs an embedded KOSGEB Service Unit that channels government SME support programs to members.

The revenue model combines recurring annual membership dues (held flat for 2026), transactional fees for trade registry filings and certification documents, professional services revenue from training programs and seminars, and event income from domestic and international fair participations and trade delegations. ALTSO operates exclusively within the Alanya district of Turkey and is governed by its members through elected bodies, with Eray Erdem serving as President since 2022 and Erhan Akman as General Secretary.

• British Chambers of Commerce: International equivalent operating the same chamber-of-commerce model (membership dues, trade documentation, export support, training) as ALTSO, providing a cross-jurisdictional benchmark for chamber business models.

Broad incumbents

• Bursa Ticaret ve Sanayi Odası (BTSO): Major industrial chamber offering the same trade registry and member services as ALTSO, with stronger focus on manufacturing exports and a much larger industrial member base.
• Gaziantep Ticaret Odası (GTO): Major southeastern Anatolian chamber running trade registry, fair organization, and export-support services analogous to ALTSO, but with a manufacturing-export orientation and larger industrial base.
• İzmir Ticaret Odası (İZTO): Major Aegean-region chamber providing trade registry, fair organization, and member services comparable to ALTSO, but at metropolitan scale and with stronger export-trade orientation.
