Tourism has always been a life time as a profession. I have worked for the British travelers and companies for 40 years. I know their expectations, working style, difficulties and practicalities. I have always been forward thinking by being proactive rather than reactive which requires knowing environment, stakeholders, customer, opportunities and limitations and being creative to solve or improve an issue. Adaption or need to change can be the drive. I have a strong private and official network around Turkey. My nature for easy communication nurtures new and positive relations easily. I can take responsibility, work under stress, individually or in teams. I have the discipline of working with state projects. The projects are based on what has not been done within reasonable risk to create unique alternatives. I am hoping to bring my experience to your company to create new markets and projects for your customers. Although my predominant knowledge is about Turkey, I have in dept information about the whole tourism sector in Europe due to my FCO related work in different countries.
