ISTANBUL, THE JUNCTION BETWEEN TWO CONTINENTS…
With a history dating back 3500 years, Istanbul stretches out along the Bosphorus and benefits from an ideal geographic location. Istanbul is the cultural capital of Turkey and the country's main financial, commercial and industrial centre. It is one of the largest conurbations in the world.
The city has two airports and a total of 97,000 hotel rooms. These factors, and its geographical location at the crossroads between two continents, make it a popular destination in the MICE sector.
