"Turkish Airlines targets culturally curious travellers, who are bored with conventional destinations and sightseeing, and want to experience life as a local. Food is the best way to understand a culture, which is why we care so much about our catering and why we've made food the true hero of our new campaign."
The film seeks further engage viewers with the EpicFoodMap.com where Turkish Airlines will soon launch a competition allowing fans to upload their own food travel photos to win a trip to the locations featured.
