What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a tourism or travel organisation where I can combine tour operations and destination management with guest-focused service—supporting safe, well-run visitor experiences, learning from the team, and growing into responsible operations.

I’m a Tourism Management graduate from Eastern Mediterranean University with hands-on experience in high-volume hospitality and visitor-facing operations. In my most recent role with the Famagusta Municipality Health Department, I managed 20+ daily visitor interactions across beaches, markets, and tourist zones—providing safety guidance and destination information to improve satisfaction.

I also built operational capability through hospitality and tourism exposure, including inventory and supplier coordination at Narin Eatery and guest-centred 5-star food and beverage service at The Arkins Hotel, where I reduced table service time by 50% during peak summer demand. I’m trained in Galileo GDS and driven by tour operations and destination management—bringing a fast-learning, detail-focused approach to delivering exceptional guest experiences.
