hizmet sunabilecek yetkinlikte insan kaynağına
sahip olunması gerekiyor. Ayrıca bölgede faaliyet
gösterecek finansal kuruluşlara kolay ulaşım
imkânlarının ve bunlara yakın bölgelerde
konaklama seçeneklerinin bulunması
da oldukça önem taşıyor. İstanbul,
bu ve benzer konularda birçok
bakımdan avantajlı bir konumda
olsa da şehirdeki
