In its endeavours to help turn Istanbul into an international shopping and entertainment capital, Turkish Airlines wil present the first Istanbul Shopping Fest to be held between March 18 and April 26 in 2011.

Timed to coincide with Passover, Easter and Nevruz, the shopping fest will pay homage to those holidays as well as emphasizing once again Istanbul’s multi-cultural identity.
