Turkish Tourism and Culture Ministry and the Istanbul Municipality (IBB) are planning to launch the "Istanbul Shopping Paradise" event between March 1st - April 15th, 2009. This is a revised project which will include several house, textile, souvenir etc goods in thousands of shops who will participate to this activity, in order to promote the "shopping" feature of Istanbul for foreigners. Visitors will get special discounts at selected shops around Istanbul showing their passports, and there will be also the advantage of the "tax-free" at departure.
In the past there were similar projects such as "Buy-Istanbul", but this project will be on a bigger scale. The Ministry and the Municipality are hoping to boom the number of foreign visitors during off-season offering them low prices for their shopping in Istanbul. |
