Sedat CENGIZ
My personal background and linguistic skills (English, Turkish, Arabic) have both strongly influenced my decision to be at tourism sector since many years. I completed my primary and secondary education in Kuwait, where I was born and raised. Upon moving to Turkey with my family in 2003, I completed my bachelor degree at the Department of Security Science of Ataturk University in Erzurum. Later on, I entered to Istanbul Police Directorate as Police Officer responsible for tourism. I resigned with my own will in January 2018 due to career and academic purposes. After my resignation, I worked as an Inspector in Istanbul Chamber of Guides, where I inspected official tourist guides and illegal tourist guides. My background in a foreign country and my years of experience in the international environment has convinced me to be an accredited tourist guide.
