First experience is always exciting and somehow difficult. Studying in an international environment is my first experience. I decided to study the MA International Tourism Management at University of Greenwich as one of my interesting subjects .In addition, I have some background from this field while obtaining a tour guide certificate in Iran. My passion for travelling and knowing different cultures motivated me to continue studies in tourism. I would like to continue my studies in PhD degree and wish to teach tourism subjects in a university in the future.

This is my first blog which is created for my dissertation topic: How cultural tourism is perceived in Iran: focusing on festival and event tourism in Iran.

The topic may change but the concept is the same. I would like to analyse all existent festivals and events in Iran, potentials, issues and explain how they affect tourism industry in positive way, how we can maintain the current festivals and events and how we can survive some traditional festivals and events...

Hope I enjoy my learning journey...
