24. If we summarize the subject, There are totally 77
agencies in Nevşehir. All the agencies are A group in
Nevşehir.
To be an A group agency is better than both and is not
difficult as people think. Most of the agencies take temporary
operating documant from the tourism ministry at the
beginning and they can use this documant for 2 years. That’s
why all the agencies are A group in Nevşehir.
