"What gives me greatest satisfaction in teaching is students who want to learn, who ask themselves hard questions.

"That is what we are here for."

"I love sharing the idea of the complexity of tourism with people. Being a participant in the development of a tourism professional is so rewarding. Some people come into the program thinking they are going to learn about holidays instead what they learn is that Tourism is one of the biggest employers in the world!"

"Having been involved in the Tourism Program almost from its conception I still get a great kick out of introducing students to the joys of travelling, and talking about the wide world out there and the surprises it has to offer. Teaching students young and old to understand and appreciate all this - and the pleasure I get from their learning - is why I’m still passionate about travel and tourism!"

"Lecturing for over 10 years in a range of tourism subjects and to an even wider range of students, I continue to enjoy the interaction and learning that goes with sharing knowledge.

"What a great thing to be learning…tourism, and sustainable tourism at that!"
