What is a Tourism House? What is a Tourism House Certificate?

The document required to carry out short-term rentals in your property for periods less than 100 days is called the Tourism House Certificate. Under Turkish law, short-term rentals cannot be conducted in properties without this certificate. The certificate which is issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is mandatory for short-term rentals and if you have non immediate family members staying in the Tapu holders absence. Websites such as Airbnb, Booking.com & Vrbo also require your certificate number to list your property.
