Throughout these years, I continued my professional life as a manager in leading organizations in the tourism sector.

I joined TÜRSAB in 2019. I currently serve as the Registry Director at TÜRSAB. I am married and have two children.

In addition to the experience gained from working with the founders and key professionals of the sector for many years, I continued to develop myself through special training and courses I took on changing tourism management systems and tourism technology around the world.

I believe that success in tourism requires following and implementing new technologies, while also ensuring that the human factor is not overlooked. This, in turn, depends on creating a company culture and team spirit among employees. I believe that training new colleagues and ensuring their participation in the sector is the future of tourism.
