“…Although much smaller than the other groups, product-focused shoppers, are also worth pursuing by marketers for their dedication to shopping and, as previous studies have pointed out (Egresi, Arslan, 2016), for the large amount of money they are willing to spend on shopping. In this case, promotional strategies should focus especially on the Middle East and Africa and should emphasize the shopping opportunities waiting for tourists in Istanbul's malls.…”

“…With over 100 modern shopping centers (one-third of all shopping malls in Turkey) and numerous traditional markets, Istanbul is a major point of attraction for tourist shoppers from all over the world . Istanbul welcomes more than 11 million tourists each year and previous studies have shown that while relatively few of them come to the city specifically to shop, most will do some shopping while there (Egresi, Arslan, 2016).…”

Previous research has indicated that shopping could make up for a significant part of the tourist experience and could provide significant benefits to destinations by contributing to local retail revenue and by generating many jobs. In order to design better marketing strategies, destination managers must understand what attracts tourists to a destination and makes them shop while there. However, tourists represent a heterogeneous group and subgroups of individuals are motivated to visit a destination for a variety of reasons. The primary purpose of this study is to segment tourist shoppers visiting Istanbul according to their motivation to shop. Five distinctive groups of 'product-focused shoppers', 'shoppers for cultural experience', 'reluctant shoppers', 'difference seekers' and 'total shoppers' were found and compared by the geographical origin of the tourists, their socio-demographic characteristics, travel characteristics and behaviour, primary motivation for the trip, activity participation and shopping preferences and attitudes. The findings indicate that destination marketers must develop their strategies and marketing products to address the heterogeneity of motivations underlying tourist shopping.

“…In fact, tourists, more than local residents see shopping malls as centers for entertainment and socializing (LeHew & Wesley, 2007). Owing to its position and historical heritage, Istanbul is one of the biggest shopping destinations in Europe and the Middle East (Egresi & Arslan, 2016). Although many still consider the bazaars as the main shopping venues of Istanbul, the city also has more than one hundred modern malls and shopping centers, with many others being in different stages of construction or planning.…”

Various standard boards such as FASB, IASB, AAOIFI, make adjustments to the conceptual framework of financial reporting on a regular basis to respond to various internal and external changes. The first conceptual framework for Financial Reporting in Indonesia, the Framework for Preparation and Presentation for Financial Statements (FPPFS), was adopted from the IASC in 1994 and in 2007 it was adapted to the Sharia Framework for Preparation and Presentation for Financial Statements (SFPPFS). FPPFS in 2016 was replaced with the IASB Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (CFFR). This paper aims to explain the views of Islamic accounting stakeholders in Indonesia about the need for revision of the SFPPFS after the severing relationship between SFPPFS and FPPFS together with the increasing complexity of Sharia entity operations, conceptual incoherence in SFPPFS, and conceptual incoherence between SFPPFS and Islamic financial accounting standards. This study uses a survey method to analyze various opinions of 113 Islamic accounting stakeholders in Indonesia related to the need of revision of Shariah Accounting Conceptual Framework (SACF). The results show that, in general, the stakeholders want a change in the SACF and agree that Maqasid Shariah as a common foundation for the formulation of a new Sharia conceptual framework.
