Budapest University of Economics and Business

In parallel, I graduated from BGF KVIK as a tourism economist (2002) and from ELTE BTK as an art historian (summa cum laude, 2003).In 2018, I received my Master's degree in tourism management from PTE KTK. I obtained my PhD in 2025 (summa cum laude) at the PTE TTK in Budapest, Hungary, in 2003. This dichotomy still defines my approach and is reflected in the nature of the subjects I teach: I am fundamentally interested in the relationship between tourism and culture (in the broadest sense of the term culture). At the beginning of my higher education studies, I specialised as a tour guide in cultural tours, and it was during this work that I recognised the importance of interpretation in the tourist experience. My current preferred teaching method is to transfer knowledge through field visits. I have been teaching at my alma mater since 2002, and as a full-time lecturer since September 2019. In 2019, I was awarded the Civis Perpetuus Facultatis Prize for my university-related activities. I love teaching, so even after a decade and a half of freelance teaching, I have not stopped teaching in several institutions at different levels of education. I have been teaching for almost a decade and a half at the Budapest Metropolitan University's continuing education courses, as well as at several foundation and private schools' vocational training courses (tourism and applied arts) based on the OKJ diploma. I consider it important to put into practice the results of research in tourism theory, which is why I have been a member of the Association of Tourism Developers and Consultants (TUTSZ) since 2018. My passion is travel, which allows me to live my experience-rich tourist-self alongside my teaching side, which collects good practices. I consider it my vocation to visualise and transmit the forms and possibilities of European heritage in tourism, its links with the culture of our time.
