Senior Destination Manager

Summary

Have been active in the tourism industry since the June 2012 and building my career from a scratch. Since then experienced a countless situations either with a lot of direct clients in my early years as a representative or later when based in office with many B2B partners as a destination manager. However both helped me to became a person who every time finds a joy in what is he doing, every day is trying to learn from the bests and creates only the positive environment around himself for everybody nearby.
