Worldway Group has learned that the Turkish payment market has recently undergone a major transformation. Alipay, a payment method highly popular among Chinese people, has officially entered the market, providing mobile QR code payment services for physical businesses and mobile users in Turkey! This means that Chinese tourists and investors can now use Alipay in physical stores across Turkey, including retail shops, shopping malls, hotels, and restaurants!
Currently, the main customer base for the Turkish tourism market consists of a growing number of Chinese tourists. According to survey data, Turkey received nearly 450,000 Chinese tourists in 2018, with an average per capita domestic expenditure approaching 1,000 USD, consistently ranking in the top 3 for overseas spending in Turkey. Turkey's goal is to use various convenience measures to encourage the number of Chinese tourists visiting Turkey to reach 1 million as soon as possible.
In January of this year, according to the "2018 China Outbound Tourism Mobile Payment Trends" report released by Nielsen, 32% of transactions by Chinese tourists were made using mobile payments, surpassing cash for the first time. Furthermore, nearly 60% of the merchants surveyed reported an increase in foot traffic and sales after adopting Alipay!
Worldway experts state that Alipay has been widely used by Chinese tourists overseas, with a usage rate exceeding that of cash, credit cards, and debit cards. This fact proves the satisfaction Alipay creates for its users. The introduction of this mobile payment method, which Chinese people are already accustomed to, will clear all shopping obstacles for Chinese tourists with strong purchasing power, removing language and foreign currency barriers. It seamlessly connects Turkish merchants with Chinese tourists and also greatly facilitates Chinese investors traveling to Turkey.
As one of the world's top ten most popular tourist destinations, Turkey's tourism industry is a pillar industry and an important source of foreign exchange income. According to a survey by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the total turnover of Turkey's tourism industry in 2017 reached 26 billion USD, ranking 8th in the world and 5th in Europe. The new goal set by the Turkish tourism department is: by 2023, to reach 50 million tourist arrivals and 50 million USD in tourism revenue.
The booming development of Turkey's tourism industry further promotes the steady development of the Turkish economy and has brought more investment opportunities to Turkey, with many world-famous multinational tourism groups investing here! It can be said that Turkey has broad market development prospects and holds significant business and investment opportunities!
For those who want to participate in the Turkish investment market, simply investing no less than 250,000 USD in real estate allows the whole family to quickly obtain a Turkish passport. The purchased property can be sold after three years. It is a win-win situation with considerable investment returns and a passport from Turkey, a G20 nation! At the same time, holding a Turkish passport also allows for the rapid processing of a U.S. E-2 visa, enabling multiple benefits such as quick relocation to the United States!

The location of the Idem Residence currently on sale, the Başakşehir district, is within the radiation zone of the Istanbul Canal project planned by the Turkish government. The Istanbul Canal project will divide the European side of Istanbul into two, and at that time, the location of Idem Residence will be surrounded by the Black Sea, the Istanbul Canal, the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosphorus Strait, forming a new island.
The Turkish government plans to invest heavily to build this island into a Turkish "Manhattan" that integrates economy, finance, commerce, culture, tourism, education, and medical care. It will stand shoulder to shoulder with Manhattan in the United States, the City of London, and Central in Hong Kong, becoming one of the areas with the most appreciation potential in the global real estate market. It is evident that the location of Idem Residence will be the future new business district of Istanbul, with huge appreciation potential.
