Information available on the incident of mass toxic exposure among tourists in Turkey suggests that many people visiting the country have fallen ill, leading to suspicions of a widespread poisoning incident.
In the popular Turkish resort town of Alanya, concerns have arisen over a potential mass food poisoning incident at Club Hotel Anjeliq. Reports of the incident have been circulating on the Telegram channel SHOT, with dozens of Russian tourists claiming to have fallen ill instead of enjoying their vacation.
The food is believed to be the primary cause of the outbreak, with dirty dishes and an abundance of flies around the food tables being cited as potential sources. However, at present, representatives of the tourism industry do not have data on mass poisoning with dozens of cases.
ATOR, the Association of Tour Operators, has provided its assessment of the situation on its official website. While there are indeed complaints about Club Hotel Anjeliq on the Tripadvisor aggregator for July-August, they mainly concern the service and outdated infrastructure. The food is described as tasteless, but there are no mentions of food poisoning.
Rospotrebnadzor, Russia's Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare, has reacted to the reports. They reported only isolated cases of tourists from this hotel complaining of vomiting and diarrhea since the beginning of the year, with only one such case currently. Rospotrebnador has sent an official request to the Ministry of Health of Turkey for official data on the investigation results and an assessment of the possible deterioration of the epidemiological situation.
Local Alanya authorities are investigating the incident, although they haven't received any direct complaints. The hotel is popular among Russian tourists, and tourists are canceling their bookings en masse.
Investigations into food poisoning incidents at hotels in the Alanya area are not new. A harshly negative review from July 2025 about Club Hotel Mirabell in Alanya reports severe food poisoning among multiple guests due to contaminated food, with complaints about unhygienic conditions, poor cleaning, and rude staff. Another review from July 2024 describes serious food poisoning incidents at the Asia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel in Alanya, including children being hospitalized.
However, neither source mentions Club Hotel Anjeliq, nor do they report any official investigation or tour operator responses specifically related to that hotel or a mass food poisoning event there. For specific details about Club Hotel Anjeliq, checking local Turkish health department bulletins or official statements from tourism authorities might be necessary.
As the investigation continues, it is essential to prioritise the health and safety of tourists. If you or someone you know has experienced symptoms such as high fever, nausea, and vomiting while staying at Club Hotel Anjeliq, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and report the incident to local authorities.
