Dr.Cevat Tosun

I have more than 27 years of international teaching experience in business management, and tourism and hospitality management at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I have taught courses in Research Methods, Entrepreneurship, Destination Marketing, Tourism Economics and Tourism Policy and Planning (George Washington University School of Business), Tourism Promotion (Northern Iowa University, USA), Tourism Impacts (Bournemouth University, UK), Strategic Management (Emirate Academy of Hospitality Management, UEA), Tourism Product Quality Management and Macro Tourism Economic Analysis at Macau University of Science and Technology as well as numerous other tourism and hospitality courses (Bilkent and Gazi Universities, Turkey). I integrate real-world industry problems into my course assignments such as employee relations, destination management, destination capacity development,  indigenous community tourism, and developing strategies for marketing challenges of the hospitality industry.  

I have supervised many undergraduate and graduate students at both the Master’s and Doctoral levels, and have worked with students with a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I have been invited by the European Union Foreign Affairs General Directorate, Arizona State University (US), Strathclyde University (UK), London Metropolitan University (UK), Tsuru University (Japan), South China University of Technology, Macau University, Gümüşhane University and Erzincan Universities (Turkey) to give talks on a wide variety of topics, including sustainable tourism development, impacts of climate change on tourism, community participation in the tourism development process, and tourism impacts. Moreover, I acted as a trainer for UNWTO 8th Training Program on “Capacity Building for Sustainable Tourism Planning and Development”, from November 27 to December 4, 2019, in Macau, China. While peer evaluation of my teaching, student feedback on my teaching, and the department chair’s evaluation of my teaching have been excellent for long years, I also obtained the "Outstanding Master of Tourism Administration Faculty Award" at the School of Business, George Washington University.
