YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Located in a narrow water inlet that separates Europe and Asia, Istanbul is a city rooted in the most influential corners of history.

Few cities can boast of having a past like theirs.

The ancient city of Byzantium, Constantinople, today Istanbul, was none other than the capital of three great empires: the Roman empire of the East, the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

But that’s history. Nowadays, Istanbul is a lively city that hosts more than 15 million inhabitants. It is a growing financial, logistical, commercial, and of course… touristic hub.

In fact, in recent years, one of the Turkish authorities’ priorities has been to promote a new type of high-added value tourism: medical tourism.

Have you heard about it? In this video, we’ll tell you what it is, what it implies and why it is a priority for the Turkish government.
