This year the Eastern Mediterranean International Tourism
and Travel Fair EMITT has commenced with a difference. With Argentina as the
guest country of the EMITT fair the four-day fair held at Istanbul, Turkey
offers not only insights into the travel and tourism industry but also free
tango dance lessons.
The tourism professionals visiting the fair and visitors
who wish to get know Argentina more closely have the opportunity to get tango
classes on the stage, in addition to the chance to discover the hidden
treasures of Argentina, one of the liveliest countries of Latin America.
Director of Ekin Fair, Hacer Aydın states that the
visitors of the EMITT Fair can attend free tango classes everyday during the
fair between 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM and that the visitors will be tutored on the
intricacies of tango and get the chance to put them to practice on the stage to
be built specially for this occasion.
Reminding that the definition of tango comes from African
rhythms and ‘tangere’ which means to touch in Latin, Mercedes Parodi, Consulate
General of Argentina in Istanbul states that the attendants of EMITT 2013 will
get the chance to know the tango culture more closely. Indicating that tango is
both the dance and the music, Parodi expresses that this dance which came into
existence in Argentina became a culture that embraced the world and underlines
that this culture will be presented to the attendants personally in EMITT 2013.
