Facilities: From small intercompany meetings to large conventions, we know which facility can house such an event, which hotels are the closest, and what to care for logistically.
Venues and Attractions: Our creative team keeps track of changing trends in the industry, and based on the needs of our clients, prepares the most suitable programs. We know both the popular restaurants and the hidden gems known only by locals to give the most unique experience.
Logistics: Travel times between accommodation, facilities and venues is perhaps the most important, and often overlooked, factor regarding event organization. A good sense of traffic patterns due to our daily experience on the streets of Istanbul as a tour operator adds to our experience.
