I have landed on my feet here at COAST. Working for COAST is absolutely wonderful and I am very lucky to have such skilled, passionate and fun team mates! My background is in Tourism; I worked for the Dutch Tourism Board for many years and studied Tourism Development and Policies at Exeter. I am particularly interested In behavioural change, attitudes, perceptions and communications and would like to explore this further in my work. I do whatever needs doing; work on projects,membership,websitemanagement, events, information,reseach, ambassadors, PR, communications and so on. The workload changes every day and that makes the work challenging! 

Although we have already done heaps of work here at COAST, there is still much to do. We receive a great number of requests for help on developing the COAST model and encourage other Networks to use our One Planet Tourism website. One Planet Tourism is Tourism that operates within the economic, environmental and social limits of the one planet we have available; and then actively, on purpose, contributes back into that planet's economic, environmental and social well-being. We can't do this alone we need your help and support so please join us!

 

 

Quote of the Day
We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee
