Curriculum Vitae

Travels experiences

Travel is a part of Farshid Karimi’s interests and life as he believes it expands humans’ insights and standpoints of the globe by contributing to their experiences. On the other hand, to get an in-depth knowledge of the tourism and hospitality industry, domestic and international traveling is indispensable in his professional life. He has made travels to a large number of domestic destinations and to around 40 foreign countries. Apart from recreation and business, one of his travels’ major motivations includes education and training by participating in tourism-related national and international workshops, exhibitions, conferences, and seminars. In terms of the social dimension, Farshid is of the opinion that traveling and the subsequent interactions with people of different cultures will lead to higher levels of knowledge and a global perspective. Thus, he tries to have constructive interactions with various host communities to enrich his experiences. The educational approach has also persuaded him to prepare and share a collection of his “Travel Experiences” about salient elements and factors of destinations’ cultures and tourism industries. This section of the website presents some of these experiences e.g., about attractions, anthropology, and tourism services supply chains. see more…
