Dear Reader,
Welcome to the February 2010 Issue of our newsletter.
Exciting things are happening at The Apartment Service. In a few
days time, we will be exhibiting at the Business Travel and Meetings Show in Earls
Court Exhibition Centre in London where we will launch the
Global Serviced
Apartment Industry Report 2010
The GSAIR 2010 is a follow up to the report which was published in
2008 and looks at the changing landscape of the worldwide serviced apartment
sector one year into the worldwide recession.
Furthermore the expansion of our on-line database and the fact that
many thousands of apartments can be booked online at the best available rates in
real time, will change the way serviced apartment bookings are done forever.
The City Focus is on Istanbul this issue, which is one of three European
cities of culture in 2010. (The others are Essen in Germany and Pecs in Hungary)
We have a competition, with a chance to win a free weekend and much
more.
As always, we welcome your suggestions and feed-back. Please send
an email to tasnews@apartment.co.uk or better still, visit our
blog and engage in the discussion.

CITY FOCUS FEBRUARY 2010 - ISTANBUL
Istanbul is the only city in the world built on 2 continents. Separated
by the river Bosphorus one section of the city lies in Europe and the other section
of the city lies in Asia. This diversity manifests itself in architecture,
culture, cuisine and the population.
Istanbul was formerly known as Byzantium and later as Constantinople,
a name taken from its founder King Constantine I in 330 AD. Later the name Istanbul
was adopted and this is what the city is known by today.
Istanbul is the administrative, cultural and commercial centre of Turkey,
it is however not the capital of the country. This is Ankara.
Istanbul has a lot to offer and The Apartment Service is pleased to introduce
Istanbul Apartments as one of their valued partners in this up and coming city
for touristic and business purposes:
