Dear All,

I have over 10 years experience in the tourism industry working for both outbound and inbound tour operators in Africa, UK and Asia.I bring with me a wealth of knowledge of the product development, operations, sales and market access as well as senior management experience in multi-cultural companies. I am currently studying a MSc in Responsible Tourism Management at the International Centre for Responsible Tourism at Leeds Metropolitan University.

My goal is to work in pro poor tourism and sustainable development to create opportunities for the poor in the tourism industry by assisting them with training, market access and product development.

I am currently seeking paid or unpaid work with a NGO relating to this field  in developing countries.

I am a hard worker, fun to be around and happy to work anywhere although I need a good internet connection as I have to study for my masters in the evening/weekends. I have attached my CV and am available to start anytime.

If you work for an NGO and have a suitable position or need an expert in tourism to help develop new programs, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Best wishes

Abs
