Discuss your dates, arrival point and group needs with a team based in Antalya.
Antalya · 9–20 November 2026
COP31 Antalya.
Your stay and transport,
planned together.
A local point of contact for accommodation requests, private airport transfers and group transport while you are in Antalya.
A practical base for your visit
The details around the conference matter, too.
Tell us what your visit requires. We can review accommodation, airport transfers, local daily journeys and group transport as one coordinated request.
The right vehicle for the group
Vehicle planning can be discussed around your party size: Mercedes Vito 4 or 6, or Sprinter 16 seats.
One clear request
Combine accommodation and transport needs. Scope, pricing and availability are reviewed before anything is confirmed.
01 · What COP31 is
Twelve days of climate negotiation, on the Antalya coast.
COP31 is the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, hosted by Türkiye at Antalya EXPO Center from 9 to 20 November 2026. Governments negotiate on adaptation, finance and the energy transition, while a wider programme follows climate action across sectors.
Who typically travels for a COP
- 01Government delegationsParty delegates and support staff whose days are shaped by negotiation sessions that can run late and shift at short notice.
- 02NGOs and research institutionsObserver organisations, universities and think tanks attending side events, with small teams and changing daily plans.
- 03Business and mediaCompanies, foundations and journalists who need reliable movement between accommodation, the venue and offsite meetings.
These describe the kinds of visitors we can assist. They are not a list of past or current clients.
02 · Key dates
The dates that shape your travel plan.
Plan arrivals and departures around the official calendar, not the other way round.
9 Nov
Conference opens
First day of COP31 at Antalya EXPO Center.
11–12 Nov
World Leaders Summit
Expect heightened security and traffic measures around the venue and routes.
15 Nov
Premises closed
Sunday: the premises, including registration, are closed. A natural day for offsite meetings.
20 Nov
Scheduled close
Final scheduled day. Closing sessions at COPs often run late, so keep departure plans flexible.
The detailed programme is published and updated by UNFCCC. We do not reproduce session agendas. Official schedules
Blue Zone
UN-managed area for negotiations. Entry only for registered and accredited participants.
Green Zone
Host-managed area open to the public, according to local conditions announced by the host.
Registration is official and free
Registration and badges are free for eligible, duly nominated participants through the official Online Registration System. A badge is not a commercial admission ticket, and MAC VIP Transfer cannot register or accredit anyone.
Badge collection
Badges are collected in person at the official desk with your registration acknowledgement and a valid passport or photo ID. Never send passport copies to us; we do not need them.
03 · The venue
Antalya EXPO Center, Aksu.
Official venue address
Antalya EXPO Center, Solak Alanya Yolu, Serik Caddesi, Aksu, Antalya
The venue lies east of the city centre in Aksu, on the Serik road. Journey times vary with traffic, security measures and the hour, so we confirm timing for each specific request rather than quoting a fixed figure.
Not the city congress centre
COP31 is not held at the city-centre congress hall or ANFAS. Give drivers and colleagues the EXPO address above.
04 · Where to stay
Choose an area by your days, not only by the room.
Accommodation pressure is high during a COP. Before choosing, weigh how your team will actually spend each day.
1
Shuttle or private car
Official shuttles only stop at hotels on the official accommodation platform. If you stay elsewhere, plan to reach a stop yourself or arrange private transport.
2
Where your meetings are
If you host clients or side meetings, a hotel with suitable meeting rooms can save repeated crossings of the city.
3
Airport arrival pattern
Delegations often arrive in waves. Consider where most of the team lands and when, and whether staggered pickups are needed.
4
Evening flexibility
Negotiation days can end late. Consider dinner options and how people will return when sessions overrun.
Areas to compare
- Lara and Kundu
- Coastal resort strip on the eastern side of the city, lying in the direction of Aksu rather than the western districts. Large hotels, many with meeting rooms.
- Antalya centre
- Kaleiçi, Muratpaşa and Konyaaltı: restaurants and city life in the evenings, but you cross the city to reach the venue.
- Belek
- Resort area further east, with large conference-capable hotels; plan daily transport carefully.
- Kemer, Side, Alanya
- Distant coastal towns, not near the venue. Staying there needs separate route planning for every day.
The official accommodation platform lists hotels connected to the official shuttle network. Our hotel pages are a separate, independent selection: being listed on our site does not establish official shuttle-stop status. Always verify on the official map.
05 · Getting around
Two different things: the official shuttle and a private transfer.
Both can be part of a sensible plan. They are not interchangeable, and they are not run by the same people.
Official shuttle
- Complimentary for participants
- Stops only at hotels listed on the official accommodation platform
- Guests of other hotels may need to reach the nearest stop themselves
- Routes and stops are published on the official transport site
Independent private transfer
- Paid service, quoted per request
- Door-to-door from your hotel, the airport or a meeting address
- Vehicle sized to your group
- Not connected to the official shuttle and no privileged security or venue access
Airport pickups, done properly
We confirm pickup details against your flight number and terminal, and drop off only at legal, designated points around the venue as directed on the day. Timing, price and availability are confirmed before anything is booked.
Vehicles we can discuss
- VIP Mercedes Vito · 4
- Individual delegates or a small team with luggage.
- Mercedes Vito · 6
- A working group travelling together.
- VIP Mercedes Sprinter · 16
- Delegation arrivals or daily group movements.
06 · Offsite meetings
A hotel meeting room, set up for the conversation.
For receptions, briefings and side meetings held at hotels or private venues outside the conference premises, we can discuss technical production.
Sound
Microphones and speaker systems for briefings and panels.
Lighting
Stage and room lighting for presentations and filmed remarks.
Stage and LED
Stage platforms and LED screens for offsite events.
Outside the Blue Zone only
We are not authorised to install anything inside the Blue Zone or conference premises. Scope is limited to offsite hotel or private venues and confirmed with the venue.
07 · Before you fly
A practical checklist.

- Registration acknowledgement, if you are accredited
- Valid passport or photo ID for badge collection
- Visa or entry requirements checked on the official page

- Flexible return for the final days
Packing

- Comfortable shoes for large venue halls
