Over the years I have been made so welcome in Egypt and have formed such good friendships that I am now addicted to the country and I kind of feel it as a second home.

The wealth and diversity of the Egyptian Culture and the incredible hospitality and genuine friendship I have been availed gives me incredible respect of the country and the Egyptian people and a commitment to support their hospitality and tourism. I was an invited keynote speaker and chairman of sessions at the First Arab international tourism online marketing conference, December 15th - 19th, 2008 in Continental Garden Reef Resort Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. This was organized and managed by Dr Hossam Darwish of IOETI with the support of IFITT. Thank you for nice hospitality and for a great conference!

I explained that the future of E-Tourism will be based on creating and fulfilling experiences and feelings and demonstrated how innovative organizations will be using information communication technologies to develop flexible platforms that will be customize tourism experiences based on consumer preferences, situations, contexts and locations.

The always on society, user generated content and location based services are some of the key technologies that will support these innovations in tourism and hospitality around the world. Dynamic organizations and destinations that understand how to capitalize on technology will be able to innovate and achieve competitive advantages.
