TUREB is the union of Turkey’s tourist-guide chambers. A 2018 report put the number of guides at about 12,000.
Not confirmed. We could not confirm the current president. The union was formerly called the Turist Rehberleri Birliği.
If you need licensed guides, ask TUREB or the local guides’ chamber. For tour operators and agencies, use TÜRSAB instead.
Visit Turkey can point you to reliable contacts. Tell us what you need, read how to check a Turkish business is genuine or see all Turkish tourism associations.
Information checked on 8 November 2026 from public sources. Office-holders change at general assemblies, so confirm the current president on the association’s own website. We are an independent guide and are not affiliated with the organisation described.
