About Me

With a decade-long journey in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), I transitioned into an entrepreneurial path, co-founding several community-based tourism projects in Palestine that focused on hospitality and experience development. Bridging my extensive ICT knowledge with the intricacies of the tourism industry, I brought a unique perspective to these ventures, integrating digital solutions for enhanced operational efficiency and visitor experiences. This intersection of technology and tourism fueled my passion, eventually leading me to channel both sets of expertise into consultancy work. Now, I am dedicated to supporting tourism development projects and organizations, specializing in the realms of tourism development and digitization. Drawing from my comprehensive skill set, I bring expertise in strategic planning, entrepreneurship, capacity building, digital upskilling, e-learning, digital community management, website and app development, API integration, tourism media, data repositories, open data practices, and open-source systems. My commitment to innovation and sustainable practices makes me well-equipped to contribute meaningfully to the dynamic landscape of tourism development.
