Business Tours to Turkish Factories — What Happens During a Private Sourcing Trip
Beginning September 2026, Trade Istanbul Hub launches private Business Tours to Turkish factories. A complete guide to private sourcing trips.
Trade Istanbul Hub attends over 40 international and regional trade exhibitions every year — covering every major manufacturing sector from furniture and apparel to food, cosmetics, jewelry, and building materials. For international buyers, every exhibition we attend translates directly into verified manufacturer introductions, live MOQ negotiations, and sourcing intelligence that feeds back into our platform.
Beginning September 2026, Trade Istanbul Hub launches a dedicated programme of private Business Tours designed specifically for serious buyers who want to go beyond the exhibition floor.
These are not group tours. They are not open to competitors. Each tour is structured around your specific sourcing requirements, your product categories, and your target MOQs.
September 2026 — Kayseri & İnegöl Furniture Sourcing Tour
3 days. 8–12 factories. Private visits to solid wood manufacturers, hotel contract producers, flat-pack specialists, and outdoor furniture clusters. Full logistics — airport transfer, hotel, interpreter. Live MOQ negotiations with Oleksandr Peters present at every meeting. Post-tour debrief with manufacturer shortlist and pricing summary.
August 2026 — Istanbul Exhibition Tours
