Grand Termal Yalova employees protest unpaid wages

Grand Termal Yalova labor dispute unpaid wages tourism certificate cancellation Yalova

Employees at the Grand Termal Yalova Resort Hotel & SPA in the Termal district of Yalova have launched a protest, refusing to leave their assigned accommodations until they receive unpaid salaries and severance pay. Workers report that they have faced significant financial hardship after being promised payments that never arrived, leading them to accrue debt.

Staff members have stated that the facility currently lacks essential services, including electricity, water, natural gas, and food. They are calling on the government and the press for assistance regarding their living conditions and financial claims.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has canceled the hotel's Tourism Operation Certificate following inspections conducted in June 2026. The Ministry's report cited numerous violations, including hygiene failures such as insects in guest rooms and improper food handling, inadequate staffing, fire safety risks, and failure to report guest identity records to authorities.
