Introduction
In February 2002 I started my research career in Tourism and hospitality. I then adopted an interdisciplinary approach to develop my MSc and Ph.D. in hotel studies at Fayoum University in Egypt in 2010. I was then impressively well-placed as a ‘Consultant of Strategic Planning Unit (SPU)’ to make a significant contribution to tourism. Since 2010 I composed a research teamwork aiming to conduct proactive research on the tourism and hospitality. In October 2015 I started a consultation trip with Deafah Group for hospitality services in Mecca-KSA to manage and redesign the group management and marketing policies. In 2016 I received the chance with Lincoln University College (LUC) my new experience in Malaysia. Currently, I'm the dean of Faculty of Hospitality & Tourism, LUC
