Biography

I hold a Ph.D. degree from Sheffield Hallam University, UK. I have published a wider range of articles in top-tier journals, conference papers in more than 40 countries and books released by Elsevier, Routledge, CABI, Emerald, Springer, Godfellow, and Edward Elgar, among others. I act as the co-editor of Anatolia and serves as an editorial board member of over 20 journals. In addition, I have served as an ad-hoc reviewer for many other tourism, management, marketing and health journals.

As a Research Fellow and Visiting Professor, I was previously affiliated with the University of Namur (2005-2006), College of Charleston (2005), Bournemouth University (2012), Hong Kong Polytechnic University (2014-2015), and Bournemouth University (2016), varying from a month to one full year.

On the one side, I am involved in several tourism-based national and international research projects, particularly with my partners based in Europe and the US. Developing such partnerships has resulted in publishing quality journal papers, conference presentations and book chapters.On the other side, I have been invited as a guest lecturer to conduct seminars or lectures and a keynote in more than 20 countries worldwide. I have also had an extensive experience in taking parts in the creation and organization of various tourism and hospitality conferences.

As of March 2024, my works have received over 3500 citations in WoS-referenced journals and over 25,000 citations counted by Google Scholar. Recently, I have been ranked among the most prolific authors both nationally and internationally in terms of the number of articles published and citations received. I am elected as the Fellow of the International Academy for the Study of Tourism (Hong Kong, SAR), Tourist Research Centre (Austria), and International Academy of Culture, Tourism and Hospitality Research (USA). My research interests entail marketing and consumer behavior in an interdisciplinary context.

My current affiliation is with the School of Communication, Kadir Has University, Turkey.
