ISTANBUL

Ahmed Haggagovic, a famous world traveler and television presenter, arrived in Turkey on Thursday, making it his 164th destination across the globe.

Haggagovic flew to Istanbul from Sweden’s capital Stockholm on a Turkish Airlines flight.

The globetrotter, who is behind multiple travel shows broadcast in numerous countries, said Turkey was on his list of places to visit for a long time.

“Turkey, with its history and nature, is one of the most beautiful countries in the world,” he told reporters.

Haggagovic said his team will be filming a travel program for a week in different cities of Turkey, including Istanbul.

“I may have been late in coming to Turkey, but we want to do our bit now to promote Turkey,” he said.
