I have been working in the tourism industry for over 40 years and still feel the same passion for the sector as I did at the outset of my career. If you don’t think tourism is exciting, you’re in the wrong job. I can deliver projects for clients and identify new PR and marketing opportunities for them. I have accumulated a vast range of experiences and knowledge working in tourism and am still interested in finding out more about changes and challenges in the industry.
Call me and we can find solutions across the regional tourism industry
I am pleased to share with you some of the highlights I have enjoyed so far, update you on what I am doing now and let you know how I might help businesses in the visitor economy.
I have a good knowledge and experience of the local, regional, and national tourism industry, as well as economic development, business and commerce, retailing and inward investment.
My key skill set includes idea generation, strategic planning, project development and implementation, marketing and sales, account management, staff management, copywriting and PR, research and report writing, negotiation, destination management, partnership creation, public speaking and problem-solving.
