Seventy remarkable years of friendship, solidarity and a shared passion for tourism.

Hosting the Skål World Congress twice, being recognized as Skål Club of the Year, having proudly produced a Skål International World President, and bringing to life pioneering initiatives such as Skålite and Young Skål, which have contributed to and inspired the global Skål movement…

With seventy years of experience, a distinguished membership and internationally recognized initiatives, Skål International Istanbul is proud to stand among the most established and respected clubs within the worldwide Skål family.

On this very special anniversary, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our Past Presidents, their Boards and teams, and every member whose dedication, vision and leadership have helped shape our Club and carry it forward over the past seven decades.

We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to the leaders of Skål International, past and present, who have always supported our Club and whose vision, guidance and encouragement have continued to inspire us throughout our journey.

We also remember with deep gratitude and respect all the cherished members of our Skål family who are no longer with us, but whose legacy remains an enduring part of our Club.

Here’s to many more years of friendship, memorable gatherings and unforgettable moments together.

Happy 70th Anniversary, Skål International Istanbul!
