Dynamic - because no two days in tourism are ever the same.
Innovative - as it constantly adapts to global trends and challenges.
Impactful -Â because it connects cultures and, if properly managed, helps communities grow.
Many people assume that a degree in tourism only leads to jobs in the hospitality or travel agency sectors. This couldn't be further from the truth. Tourism, combined with strong foundations in management, marketing, and sustainability, opens doors to an array of careers. Graduates can work in roles such as destination management professionals, tourism attraction managers, sustainability managers, or marketing strategists. Others may pursue entrepreneurial ventures. Over nearly two decades of teaching tourism at the university level, I’ve seen countless success stories—graduates managing ski resorts in the Alps, running sustainable tourism initiatives, becoming event managers, opening a tourism business along a cycling route, or even joining academia and becoming a colleague.Â
I have always been, and continue to be, passionate about the world. I wanted to immerse myself in different cultures, climates, and geographical conditions. I felt that studying tourism would provide an incredible opportunity to understand how continents, nations, and regions can leverage their unique characteristics to create memorable experiences for visitors while fostering economic development within local communities.Â
The emerging trends. Tourism is an open system influenced by various factors, including technological, environmental, demographic, and political shifts, to name just a few. Every year brings new trends that shape this dynamic industry. My lectures constantly evolve as I introduce and explore these fresh developments with students. Tourism is full of disruptive innovations—low-cost airlines, Airbnb, dynamic pricing models. Researching and sharing these advancements keeps my job exciting.Â

Understanding people in the workplace and how work can be a happy and satisfying experience. Many of us will spend around 44 years in/ at work, this equates to around 690,000 working hours. Work needs to be something that helps us thrive and gives us a sense of meaning and contributes to positive personal wellbeing.
I started my career having had a negative experience with a manager. This drove a desire in me to understand why bosses and leaders can behave in such negative ways, and what good leadership looks like, and how staff can be managed and supported when they experience difficulties in work.Â
Think of your time at Bangor as a supportive environment to grow and develop your communication, networking, and employability skills. Grab every opportunity you can to enrich your CV; business games, societies, volunteering, travel!Â
I absolutely love hill walking or half an hour power walk with a podcast - and I really love podcasts and the power of learning away from screen time! Aside from this, I've been known to binge a few series on Netflix and love a good board game with my family!
