Our Mission
The Corendon Foundation, founded in 2011 by Atilay Uslu, is dedicated to making a positive and lasting impact on society. With our roots in the travel industry, we support projects that promote equal opportunities, foster culture, and provide emergency aid where needed.
We collaborate with local (hotel) partners, foundations, and communities to support initiatives—not only financially, but also by sharing the knowledge and dedication of Corendon employees.
