The award was given to Culture, Inc. for the tourism and promotional activities that it has carried out nationally and internationally to promote Istanbul.

At the awards ceremony organized for the 36th time by Editorial Office, Culture, Inc.’s General Manager Nevzat Bayhan was presented with the prize by Trade Leaders Club President Arsenio Pardo Rodriguez at the Madrid International Tourism Fair.

Following the award, Bayhan said, “The effort of promoting the culture that makes up the rainbow of our Istanbul, the art of living and its historic beauty to our citizens as well as to the world makes up the secret of our success.” The members of Editorial Office and the Trade Leaders Club that evaluated many organizations and commissions from Vietnam to Argentina this year found Istanbul’s Culture, Inc. worthy in spite of its not applying for consideration.

The Trade Leaders Club is part of Editorial Office and has more than 7,500 members in 120 countries in the field of tourism.
