Not on the executive shortlist

Why it matters
Scoring rationale
ICVB is not inventory, but its official services include RFP handling, bid support, venue finding, destination presentations and site inspections. That makes it strategically useful for future Shahraah corporate groups and incentives in Istanbul, while correctly keeping it separate from commercial supplier rankings.
Opportunity for Shahraah (provisional)
Strategic MICE coordination and supplier-introduction resource for Istanbul corporate/incentive business; not bookable inventory.
