Why Istanbul?
Istanbul, located along the iconic Bosphorus Strait, is renowned for its rich history and architectural marvels, including the Hagia Sophia, Dolmabahçe Palace, and the Grand Bazaar. As a key destination in Turkey, which welcomed 56.7 million international tourists in 2023 [TGA, 2024], Istanbul plays a pivotal role in one of the world’s fastest-growing travel markets.
Turkey’s dedication to safe and sustainable tourism is reflected in its certification programs for lodging facilities, ensuring high standards and continuous improvement. Istanbul’s dynamic culture and thriving economy make it an ideal setting for forward-looking discussions on the future of travel and tourism.
