Turkey sets up crisis centre for Goldtrail customers

Sunday, 20 Jul, 2010 0

A crisis centre has been set up in Turkey for customers hit by the collapse of Goldtrail on Friday.

The Governorship of Mugla is instructing worried holidaymakers to call +90 (0)252 214 1234 or from Turkey call the Mugla Call and Information Centre by dialling 179 from any landline.

The Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism said it is working hard to assist affected customers in Turkey.

It said the crisis centre is designed to ensure holidaymakers can continue their holidays in Turkey and return home at the end of their stay.

The crisis centre will give customers the latest information about hotels and apart hotels that have been booked by Goldtrail customers and can advise travellers accordingly.

Information desks have been set up at all airports in the affected region to advise and inform passengers regarding their return home.

The CAA is making arrangements for customers abroad to travel home at the end of their holidays. The majority of flights from Turkey are expected to operate as planned.
