In 1991, he founded the tourism company "Ersoy Turistik Servisleri" (ETS), together with his twin brother Murat.

[2] On July 9, 2018, the newly elected president of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced his cabinet.

[4] Countering Ersoy's statements, Bolu city mayor Tanju Özcan said that the fire department had not certified the hotel since 2007 which is when Bolu was an AKP-run municipality,[5][6][7] adding that: The Minister is personally responsible for this incident.

To evade responsibility, he dares despicably accuse our municipality.

The hotel is outside Bolu's city limits, so the Ministry of Tourism is in charge.
