Türkiye’s Minister of Culture and Tourism Ertugrul Gunay, attending Hilton Istanbul’s 55th anniversary, said Türkiye has become one of the leading countries in tourism and that the country expects some 30 million foreign visitors in 2010.
Speaking of Hilton’s planned investments in Türkiye, Gunay said the company will continue to grow in Türkiye. “Istanbul Hilton, opened 55 years ago, was one of Hilton’s first international investments.
