Anthony Climpson OBE the Employment & Tourism Manager for the New Forest District 
Council, and will be talking about the sustainable tourism work they are undertaking in the New Forest.

Grew up in a village on the southern edge of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. Trained as an artist and designer, working in polythene recycling, photographic sales, community publishing and listing magazines before being seduced by tourism. Established Dorset’s first county tourism service in the early 1980s before becoming Destination Manager in the New Forest in 1987 where I’ve fallen in love with a wonderfully “English” slice of landscape and life.
Totally focused on local inclusion, resilience & sustainability in tourism and the world at large and the embedding of the sector into the wider economy. Currently propagating the concept & measurement of the”Economics of visitor happiness” in the tourism sector and always interested in discussing and debating this and similar ideas with anyone at anytime. Founder of the New Forest Tourism Association in 1988 and the VICE/VERB model for sustainable destination management. Past President & Fellow of the Tourism Management Institute, Fellow of the Tourism Society , Board Member of the Tourism Alliance and participant in many national/governmental tourism policy and reform activities. Achieved National Beacon Status for the New Forest in the promotion of sustainable tourism in 2004. International winner of the Best Destination and Best Personal Contribution in 2007 World Responsible Tourism Awards. Awarded OBE in 2005 for services to tourism. Keen musician, passionate Swindon Town FC fan and recently retired cricketer.
Chaired and Organised by Steve Richards
Professor Dimitrios Buhalis welcomed Antony Climpson and said that it is a great opportunity to develop partnership with the New Forest destination and business community for the benefit all stakeholders.
Birgitta Nelimarkka & Johanna Rajakangas-Tolsa from Haaga- Helia University in Finland are currently visiting the Department of Tourism and Hospitality as part of an Erasmus programme to exchange ideas and teaching innovation practices on Food and Hospitality education. They were welcomed to Bournemouth by Professor Dimitrios Buhalis Head of Department and Dr Hanaa Osman Global Engagement Liaison.
They can be seen here with students from the Masters Food and Drink option. Everyone is looking happy particularly as the session that they had just participated in had featured tastings designed to stimulate the senses and explore the gastronomy of Finland.
As well as speaking to other groups Birgitta and Johanna have had some time to venture out into Dorset and will also be exploring the Jurassic coast with Dr Sean Beer as their guide.

Following a very successful week teaching at the University Birgitta Nelimarkka & Johanna Rajakangas-Tolsa from Haaga- Helia University in Finland enjoyed some rest and recuperation along the Jurassic Coast. They are pictured here at Durdle Door with Dr Sean Beer, his wife Anne is taking the picture, but the most important person seems to be Mickey the jack Russell Terrier who was team leader, and seems to have spotted a rabbit.
Following the exercise it was home for roast beef and Yorkshire pudding along with sea cabbage collected on the walk. There was also a very interesting dairy product tasting, which for the mean time will have to be kept secret, as it may represent a future collaboration between the two Universities and industry. Birgitta and Johanna returned safely to Finland on Sunday.
