DOF Robotics reveals $20m NeoCappadocia investment
DOF Robotics, an award-winning producer of immersive simulation attractions, robotic systems, games, and CGI content, has announced a $20 million investment in NeoCappadocia. This new experiential destination is planned to open in Cappadocia, Turkey, a region renowned for its rich cultural and natural heritage.
NeoCappadocia is designed to operate year-round, anticipating over 500,000 visitors annually. It aims to set a new standard for experience-based tourism by blending cutting-edge technology, live shows, and themed hospitality into a single destination.
Situated in Avanos, NeoCappadocia will be built on a 5,000-metre-square indoor space, providing a completely immersive, climate-controlled experience aimed at boosting Cappadocia’s tourism beyond peak seasons.

The project will feature a Fly Over Cappadocia/Turkey-themed flying theatre, high-fidelity balloon simulation experiences, large-scale curved digital screens with immersive projection systems, live shows that combine technology, choreography, and storytelling, a fully themed restaurant, and a boutique themed hotel with specially designed concept rooms.
Tech, storytelling, and emotional experience
Mustafa Mertcan, chairman of DOF Robotics, says:
“With NeoCappadocia, we are reimagining Cappadocia not only as a natural wonder, but as a new universe where technology, storytelling, and emotional experience come together. This project adds a powerful new reason to visit Cappadocia, helping us spread tourism demand across all four seasons.
"With an expected annual attendance of over 500,000 visitors, NeoCappadocia will be one of the world’s pioneering examples of experience-driven tourism and a strategic showcase of Türkiye’s creative technology capabilities on the global stage.”

DOF Robotics also plans to replicate the NeoCappadocia model in other key tourism centres, such as Istanbul and Antalya, as part of its broader global expansion plan.
Mertcan adds: “With our strong engineering foundation, R&D-driven growth vision, and global partnerships, we are contributing to Türkiye’s positioning not only as a tourism destination, but as a country that designs, builds, and exports high-technology experiences.”
Recently, DOF Robotics debuted its new dark ride at IAAPA Expo 2025 in Orlando.
