BELTUR

BELTUR (Büyük İstanbul Eğitim Turizm ve Sağlık Yatırımları İşletme ve Ticaret - English: Great Istanbul Education Tourism and Health Investments Management and Trade) is a Turkish company that operates cafes in hospitals and tourist locations.

[1] In 2020, the Turkish Ministry of Health did not renew their contract with BELTUR (leading to the closure of 62 cafes) and the company was investigated for alleged tax evasion.

BELTUR started running buffets in Turkish state hospitals in December 2013.
