Today Level I Tourism Management students received their first of five guest lectures from David Skillicorn of Prestige Holidays as part of their Tour Operations unit.

David will be lecturing the students every Tuesday in the lead up to their assignment for the unit and will be aiming to provide them with industry insight that will help them for not only their assignments but also for their placement year.

David will be covering all aspects of Tour Operations and has over 20 years of experience in the industry himself.

David commented that he believes that interacting with industry is a vital part of a degree and should hopefully help the students gain insights in the tourism industry.
