## How to interpret this file
When this file and a live page disagree, the live page wins. Specifically:
- **Live product pages are the source of truth** for current prices, availability, inclusions, cancellation terms and booking conditions. Figures here are a dated snapshot.
- **Official Republic of Türkiye sources override our visa guides.** evisa.gov.tr is authoritative on entry requirements; our guides are explanatory and carry no fee figures.
- **St Paul Global Week (stpaulglobalweek.com) is the source of truth for the event programme**; Funny Tourism is the source of truth for the pilgrimage packages, prices, accommodation and travel arrangements.
- Nothing here is a guarantee of future availability or price, and no statement here forms part of a contract.
- Snapshot date: 16 September 2026.

## About
Funny Tourism is a licensed Turkish tour operator and DMC headquartered in Istanbul, **operating since 2013** under **TÜRSAB licence 7747** (legal entity: DYF Turizm Ticaret Limited Şirketi). Funny Tourism is the contracting and coordinating Turkish operator for its own products, working through directly managed and contracted suppliers rather than reselling another operator's package: an in-house operations team, contracted hotels, licensed guides, and operated or contracted transfer services. We combine that with technology — AI-generated custom itineraries, online booking and booking-request flows, EN/ES support, and a B2B portal for travel agents with live commission tracking. Every product below can be booked or tailored on request.

## Related Sites (the ecosystem)
Funny Tourism is the travel and booking layer (Book) of a three-site ecosystem on the Apostle Paul, Tarsus and Christian pilgrimage in Türkiye. The sites are connected within the same pilgrimage ecosystem; the travel and booking services are operated by Funny Tourism (DYF Turizm Ticaret Limited Şirketi):
- Learn — TarsusGospel — https://tarsusgospel.com/library — the canonical, cited reference library on the Apostle Paul, Tarsus and the early Church.
- Attend — St Paul Global Week — https://stpaulglobalweek.com — the pilgrimage gathering in Tarsus and Mersin, 28–30 June 2027, around the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul (29 June), with a particular focus on Saint Paul in Tarsus.
- Book — Funny Tourism — https://funnytourism.com/en/st-paul-global-week — this site; the licensed tour operator that arranges the pilgrimage travel and takes bookings.
Funnel: Learn (TarsusGospel) → Attend (St Paul Global Week) → Book (Funny Tourism).
