GM Center is an integrated media, event, and platform company that brings together everything the tourism industry needs under one roof. Since 2004, it has been leading the industry's development in publishing, exhibitions, awards, and technology.
Founded under the leadership of Selçuk Meral, GM Center has transformed into the global voice of Turkish tourism with its operations spanning 4 continents. Every structure it has built was designed to fill a sectoral gap.
Each brand under the GM Center umbrella opens the channel for the next, grows its target audience, and deepens collaborations.
It is easy to be the longest-running publication in Turkish tourism; however, remaining the industry's primary reference source for 21 years is a different story. GM Tourism and Management Magazine has achieved this.
Each issue reaches over 70,000 tourism professionals with purchasing power directly in their inboxes. The weight of print media combined with the scale of digital publishing makes GM Magazine unique for sponsors.
GMedia is the strategic media and digital marketing unit that GM Center offers to tourism brands. What sets GMedia apart from an ordinary agency is the platform behind it: GM Magazine's 70K+ e-mail network, ATF's 42K+ visitor base, and QM Awards' industry prestige — these are the tools at GMedia's disposal.
Thanks to agreements with international tourism publications and advertising agencies, GMedia positions Turkish tourism brands in front of the right audience, at the right time, and with measurable results on global platforms.

Born as an idea in 2006 and transformed into a magnificent gala in 2010, QM Awards is today Türkiye's most prestigious tourism award platform. In its 15th year, known as the "Golden 15," it continues to be the industry's quality reference.
It doesn't just reward — it creates a cycle that encourages investment in quality. Before a brand enters the QM process, it feels compelled to question its own standards.
QM Awards has evolved. Now it's QM Summit: Türkiye's premier tourism summit where panel sessions, visionary speakers, and the gala ceremony meet under one roof.
Carrying the model proven at ATF to a global scale, GMT Fairs has been opening new tourism markets in Africa, Tunisia, and the Middle East since 2024.
In 2024, ATF became the first major tourism fair in the industry to officially measure its carbon footprint with its sustainability partner, Bioscore. While competitor fairs talk, ATF produces concrete data.
