“Şişli Talks Tourism” panel held at Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus Hotel...

The “Şişli Talks Tourism” panel, in which the values of our beautiful district of Şişli—which has shed light on the history of our Istanbul from the past to the present—were this time examined from a “tourism” perspective, was held by the Şişli Municipality at the Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus Hotel. In Şişli, one of the exemplary centers of multiculturalism, all the Abrahamic religions and their places of worship coexist intertwined and side by side.  The Teşvikiye Mosque, the Saint Esprit Church, the Şişli Bet Israel Synagogue, Notre Dame De Lourdes, and the Aya Dimitri Greek Orthodox Church are just a few examples. The tourism values of Şişli—one of the multicultural, colorful, sparkling, flavorful, and surprising districts of Istanbul with its rich cultural heritage—were addressed at the panel.
 
Following the opening speech in which Şişli Mayor Mr. Mammer Keskin reviewed the work carried out in the district and the projects planned for the future, IBB Deputy Secretary General Mahir Polat, TÜROB Chair Müberra Eresin, TÜRSAB Chair Firuz Bağlıkaya, TTYD Chair Oya Narin, TURYİD Chair Kaya Demirer, and İRO Chair Hüseyin Özaltın shared their views on the region.
 
After the opening speeches, the program came to an end following the panels held and the presentation of the “Şişli Travel Guide” and the “Şişli Cultural Inventory Project” portal prepared digitally by the Şişli Municipality.
