Saint Lucia

Scholarship

MSc. Tourism in Developing Countries

University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland

Receiving the CTO Foundation Scholarship not only allowed me to enhance my educational background, but permitted me to experience and appreciate other cultures. Since completing the MSC program, I have maintained an active involvement in tourism education as I regularly serve as an industry guest professional at the University of New Haven in Connecticut and in the past the New York University (NYU) in New York. Also, I regularly sit on industry panels discussing varied tourism industry issues. 

In my role at the Saint Lucia Tourist Board I have led successful Marketing, Public Relations and Sales efforts. Also, I have represented Saint Lucia on various panels and conferences featuring the weddings and honeymoon niche market.  I have been voted Best International Tourist Board Manager by readers of Travel Agent Magazine for a record three times.

Thank You CTO Foundation for investing in my journey of excellence…
