Tourists, many from Saudi Arabia and Asia, queue outside a luxury brand Louis Vuitton store in Istanbul on August 13, 2018. The collapse of the Turkish lira has caused trauma as Turks see their purchasing power reduced but has been an unexpected windfall for foreign tourists visiting the country at the peak of the summer season. Tourists, mainly from Saudi Arabia and Asia, formed long queues outside luxury brand design stores like Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Prada when the Turkish currency took a severe hit against dollar, falling over 16 percent on its value on August 10.
