Giant exhibition center in Istanbul

Istanbul World Trade Center (IDTM), an Istanbul Chamber of Commerce subsidiary, launches Turkey’s largest fairground investment. IDTM will construct Turkey’s and the region’s largest project with a 500-million-dollar investment. Istanbul Expo Center currently has a 65,000-square meter area and its size will reach 700,000 square meters with new construction.

300,000 SQUAREMETERS

The new fairground investment is scheduled to be completed in three phases. Initiated last October, the giant investment’s 300,000 square meter section will be allocated to fairgrounds. On the other hand, the 35,000-square meter section will accommodate a wellness center which will serve customers 365 days with a shopping mall, restaurants, and cafés. The new fairground will be Leed-certified and constructed in an entirely human- and nature-friendly way with an efficiency level meeting ‘green building’ standards.

GIANT COMPLEX

The new fairground will be within a giant complex including IDTM’s business center, the WOW Hotels and WOW Convention Center. The project aims to transform Istanbul into Europe’s most sought-after expo, meeting, and congress city as well as taking Turkey to the top league in fair organizations.

BUSINESS TOURISM

Turkey now makes itself heard not only with its sun and sea but also with historical, cultural, and congress tourism. The importance of congress and expo tourism grows steadily in a period of hardship experienced by the wider tourism industry. IDTM assumes a major role at this point. The Istanbul Expo Center, which hosts thousands of exhibitors and millions of visitors every year, reveals the IDTM’s importance in business tourism along with bilateral business meetings that bring together international investors or exporters with potential stakeholders in Turkey.

HERE IS THE NEW FAIRGROUND

One 6,000-person congress hall
Four 50-person meeting rooms
Three 1,800-person catering facilities
15 management rooms
Press center
Four simultaneous interpretation rooms
Three storage rooms
One 7,265-car parking garage
One 300-car parking lot

CONGRESS TOURISM BRINGS A USD-2500 PER CAPITA EXPENDITURE

Quality infrastructure and superstructure investments are a must for Congress tourism. Therefore, the role assumed by IDTM is of great importance. Spending per person in coastal tourism comes in at USD 700-800, whereas it goes up to USD 2000-2500 in congress tourism. To date, over 2.4 million people have visited Turkey for conferences, seminars and trade fairs. And the congress tourism revenues have exceeded USD 2.5 billion. This demand has moved Turkey and Istanbul to the 21st and 9th places, respectively in the world. Turkey also ranks as one of the top 8 countries in Europe.
