As the vibrant celebration of Kurban Bayram (Eid al-Adha) begins on Sunday 16th, we extend our warmest wishes to everyone in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and Turkish Cypriots all over the world.

This four-day holiday, a significant period of joy, reflection, and togetherness, is an opportunity for families to come together, share meals, and create lasting memories.

In anticipation of this festive period, tourism is expected to see a notable boost. This year, the influx of visitors is further supported by Pegasus Airlines' announcement of 28 additional flights to Northern Cyprus, responding to the high demand from travelers eager to spend the holiday with their loved ones. These flights will depart from key Turkish cities, including Sabiha Gökçen, Antalya, and İzmir, ensuring more people can join in the celebrations in the TRNC.

The TRNC anticipates an increase in tourists, bringing economic benefits and enhancing the holiday atmosphere. The hospitality sector, local businesses, and cultural sites are all gearing up to welcome visitors, showcasing the rich heritage and warm hospitality of Northern Cyprus.

To our esteemed members of the Turkish Cypriot Exist (TCE) community, we hope this holiday brings you joy, peace, and the chance to reconnect with your roots. Whether you are traveling back to Northern Cyprus or celebrating abroad, may this Kurban Bayram (Eid al-Adha) be filled with blessings and happiness.

Happy Bayram to all!
