We have learned with sorrow that Behçet Morgül, Chairman of the Board of Grand Haliç Hotel, one of our member establishments, has passed away, and that he was laid to rest at Zincirlikuyu Cemetery on Monday, November 28, 2022.
The late Behçet Morgül, known among those around him for his charitable, hardworking, enterprising and visionary character, was one of Türkiye’s first shipowners, and after the maritime sector in which he operated, he also achieved significant success in the tourism sector with the Grand Haliç Hotel.
We pray for God’s mercy upon the late Behçet Morgül and note that his contributions to the country’s tourism, economy and employment will always be remembered with gratitude. We extend our condolences and wishes for patience, first and foremost to his grieving family, as well as to the staff of the Grand Haliç Hotel, his friends, his relatives and the tourism community.
