Multiples Restrict Travel To Turkey

Fashion retailers are faced with new international travel restrictions this week to a major sourcing destination after the bomb attacks in Istanbul two weeks ago.

Among those expected to be hit by the travel restrictions are Next and George at Asda. Marks & Spencer has advised staff to only travel if it is essential.

One high street clothing supplier, who sources around 40 per cent of its product form Turkey, said if the terrorist attacks continued, he would have to look to source elsewhere. He expected the main benefactors of the terrorist threat in Turkey to be Romania and Morocco.
