Afterward, I received full scholarship to conduct my PhD in the field of Tourism (Socio-Cultural Responsible Rural Tourism Framework) at Uinversiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Malaysia. During my PhD from 2011 to 2015, I worked on developing a Socio-Cultural Responsible Rural Tourism Framework within Malaysia in conjunction with other universities all around Malaysia.
