STUDENTS REFLECT ON THEIR RECENT CONSULTING PROJECT IN ABRUZZO, ITALY

The experience gave me a unique perspective on tourism as a catalyst for economic and social development. The number of variables involved in developing a successful plan is almost overwhelming, and instituting this type of plan successfully requires hard work, patience, dedication and openness. —Joel Reis

For me, the most worthwhile aspect of the experience were the opportunities for experiential learning along with the feeling of knowing that your recommendations could have a positive impact.
— Danielle Lewis-Jones

Having the opportunity to engage on the ground, run focus groups and interviews, and meet with a wide variety of stakeholders helped me to get a true sense of what tourism consulting entails and helped me refine my career path.

Proper and efficient management of tourism is the first step toward sustainably developing a destination's capacity. We received a positive response from the local stakeholders, who attended our final presentation, and I hope they’ll be able to successfully implement our recommendations for a better future.
