Turkey Takes Times Square By Storm

  • June 3, 2009
Turkey is making a major push for tourism in the New York City market this month with dueling month-long video displays on the Reuters sign at 3 Times Square, and on the the seven-story NASDAQ sign at neighboring 4 Times Square.

Images range from upscale experiences in Istanbul to millennia-old ruins and natural wonders throughout the country.

The video displays are part of the "Unlimited Turkey" campaign launched by Turkish Culture and Tourism on April 1. The displays also direct onlookers to the destination's www.goturkey.com Web site for more information. --Tanya Irwin
