Global Exchange captures foreign exchange contract at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport

TURKEY. Spain-based currency exchange specialist Global Exchange has captured a contract at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, extending its presence in Turkey. It has run a foreign exchange concession at Antalya Airport since 2017. The seven-year contract covers the operation of four bureaux de change. 

Global Exchange President Isidoro J. Alanís said the contract gain comes at a strategically important location. He forecast that Turkey’s tourism development would continue with the country made more attractive to visitors due to the devaluation of the Turkish Lira. “We are sure that it will become one of the most important countries in terms of tourism in the world,” he said.
