Iskender Dilek, Vice Chairman of the Board of Dilek Holding, One of Our Members, Has Passed Away...

It is with deep sorrow that we have learned of the passing of Iskender Dilek, Vice Chairman of the Board of Dilek Holding, among whose affiliates are the Radisson Blu Şişli and the Radisson Blu Pera Hotel, one of our members.

The funeral of the deceased will take place on Friday, 07 January 2022 (tomorrow) at the Afet Yolal Mosque (Levent), following the Friday Prayer.

Having entered the tourism sector as a waiter, the late İskender Dilek, in the all-too-brief life of 60 years that he led, became a source of inspiration not only to his own community and the tourism sector but also to the entire business world through his vision, exceptional intelligence, and diligence. The late İskender Dilek, who earned the heartfelt affection and respect of our entire community through his philanthropic and modest character, will always be remembered with gratitude, and his contributions to TÜROB, to the country's tourism, economy, and employment will always be cherished.

We pray for God's mercy upon the late İskender Dilek, and we extend our condolences and wishes for patience to his bereaved family above all, as well as to the members of Dilek Holding, his friends, his relatives, and the tourism community.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of TÜROB-the Association of Turkish Hoteliers,

Müberra ERESİN
