The Public Employment Service (PES) informs beneficiaries and providers of the Social Tourism Program that it has no partnership, relationship, or contractual connection with private platforms, websites, or businesses that offer, for a fee, search, mediation, or booking services for accommodations participating in the program.
DYPA has not authorized any private entity to act on its behalf or to provide paid services related to participation in the Social Tourism Program.
Communication and reservations at participating accommodations are made directly between beneficiaries and providers, without the need for a third-party intermediary and without the payment of any commission or fee to an authorized partner of DYPA.
DYPA urges beneficiaries to be particularly cautious in cases where payment is requested for services presented as necessary for searching for or making a reservation under the program.
At the same time, it calls on program providers to immediately inform DYPA of any practice they believe creates confusion among beneficiaries or commercially exploits their participation in the program without their consent.
DYPA is reviewing the relevant complaints that have been submitted and is taking all necessary measures to protect beneficiaries and partner providers.
Please note that official information regarding the Social Tourism Program is provided exclusively through DYPA’s official communication channels and announcements.
