OUR COMPANY

VIP Tourism was founded in 1968 by İnci and Fethi Pirinçcioğlu; Fethi Pirinçcioğlu a journalist, PR man and Tourism Attaché; İnci Pirinçcioğlu a Fulbright Scholar, lecturer, and the first official tour guide in Turkey. Having already had successful individual careers, İnci and Fethi decided to put their cultural knowledge and marketing experience together and start something innovative and unique.
 
Their goal was simple: To introduce visitors to the friendliness and warmth of Turkish hospitality in a professional and expert manner. With this guiding principle and vision, they pioneered Turkey’s tourism and event management industry and created VIP Tourism, a leader in the field. Fethi Pirinçcioğlu continued to be an influential figure in Turkey’s tourism industry: he was honorary chairman of the Association of Tourism Journalists and Editors of Turkey (ATURJET) and a founding member of SKAL Turkey, an international club for top-level managers of travel agencies, hotels and transportation companies.
 
Since 1984, VIP Tourism has flourished under the second generation management of Ceylan (CEO) and Yasemin (President) Pirinçcioğlu, with its new vision of trend-setting and quality service at every level and its use of the latest techniques and technology..

VIP has also hosted many world famous VIPs, including Jacqueline Kennedy, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Juan Carlos, Helmut Schmidt, Luciano Pavarotti, Rudolph Nureyev, Boris Yeltsin, Michael Jackson, Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Diana Ross, Liza Minelli, Hubert de Givenchy, Al Gore, President Bush, Martha Stewart and more...
