Marcelo Molinari, Central Director of International Markets at The Bicester Collection: “We are delighted to be working with AVIAREPS to grow our presence in Turkey, which has been a strategic market for us for many years. Our award-winning Villages are located just outside the major European cities and offer guests the world’s best brands along with memorable shopping experiences. We have been working with AVIAREPS for more than a decade and are convinced that they are perfectly positioned to increase awareness of our brand in Turkey.”
