The Local Wholesaler Advantage
Global bed banks aggregate inventory from thousands of markets. We focus exclusively on Istanbul — and that specialization creates a meaningful rate and service advantage.
Direct Hotel Contracts
We negotiate directly with each property — not through intermediaries. Our contracts are based on volume commitments and long-term relationships, unlocking rates that aggregators cannot access through their bulk-buy model.
On-Ground Local Support
When a problem arises — a group arriving to a double-booked suite, a hotel overbooking situation during a festival weekend — our Istanbul-based team can intervene in real time, in Turkish, in person if necessary.
Guaranteed Allotment Year-Round
We maintain secured room blocks across our hotel portfolio, including during Istanbul's most in-demand periods: Ramadan, Eid, New Year's Eve, and international congress weeks. Your bookings will not be cancelled.
Relationship Pricing
Six years of consistent volume with Istanbul properties has earned us preferential pricing tiers unavailable to global platforms. As a partner, you inherit those relationships — and the rates that come with them.
Multi-Language Account Management
Your dedicated account manager speaks your language. We provide native-level support in English, Turkish, Arabic, and Persian — covering our largest agency markets across MENA, Central Asia, and Europe.
Same-Day Issue Resolution
Our SLA commits to resolving all booking issues within 4 business hours and critical operational problems within 60 minutes. No ticket queues, no overseas call centres — just direct lines to people who can act.

Common Questions
Is Safaryar Holidays registered and licensed to operate as a wholesaler?
Yes. We operate under TURSAB License No. 10028 and are fully registered as a travel intermediary in Turkey. All our contracts with hotels comply with Turkish tourism regulations.
How do your rates compare to Hotelbeds or Expedia Partner Solutions?
For Istanbul specifically, our direct contracts frequently beat major bed banks by 8-25% on net rates, particularly for 4- and 5-star properties in Sultanahmet, Taksim, and Sisli. We also offer better cancellation terms in many cases.
Can I use both your direct rates and aggregator inventory in one search?
Yes. Our platform consolidates all available inventory and automatically presents the best net rate from any source — direct contract or aggregator feed — in a single search result.

Our agency network spans 45+ countries. The largest groups are from MENA (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, Iraq), Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan), and Southeast Asia. We also serve agencies in the UK, Germany, and North America.
