You turn down an option. You turn away people.
“I had a job offer for something better. Because it was in a another city, I had to turn them down.”
“After the earthquake, many people wanted to rent hotel rooms. The demand was very high. The turned most people away.”
Another way to explain this.
When you are offered something, you can turn it down.
When someone asks you for something, you can turn them away.
Turning down is common activity. Turning away is a big deal that is uncommon.
