I’m professor of tourism at West Coast University of Applied Sciences in Heide, Germany. I’m interested in the nexus between sustainable tourism, regional development and biodiversity conservation, and I have worked on these topics in academic teaching, research and consulting in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Consulting, training & key notes
I offer consultancy on sustainable tourism development, destination management and marketing, and carbon and biodiversity-friendly tourism strategies. Additionally, I am available as a keynote speaker and trainer in sustainable tourism for public and private stakeholders.
In collaboration with clients and stakeholders, I develop bespoke solutions that are both practice-oriented and based on state-of-the-art scientific methods.
