Arabs, whose interest in Turkey has been fuelled by their love of certain Turkish television series, are choosing Istanbul as a wedding venue and so contributing a significant amount of money to the Turkish economy.  

Director of the largest shopping centre in Europe (Via/Port), Bülent Kural says:

"Turkey offers some opportunities that Arabs cannot find in their own countries.  There are also an increasing number of Arabs who visit Turkey to see the famous places and casts of Turkish television series"
