Expert in Sustainable Tourism, Regenerative Tourism, Tourism Economics, and Women's Employment Empowerment

I am an associate professor at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, specializing in women’s employment empowerment, sustainable tourism, regenerative tourism, and tourism economics. With extensive academic and project experience, I have contributed to various research and development initiatives, including UNDP’s "Future of Tourism" project, TÜBİTAK-funded research, and KA220 collaborations.

My expertise includes developing strategies to enhance women’s participation in the workforce, promoting sustainable and regenerative tourism models, and analyzing the economic impact of tourism. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches that integrate economic, environmental, and social sustainability principles into tourism development. I am eager to collaborate on projects that aim to create inclusive, resilient, and sustainable tourism ecosystems, strengthen gender equality in the labor market, and foster innovative tourism policies that benefit local communities and economies.
