I am the Community Developement Specialist for Kootenay Rockies Tourism and I am really interested in rural development, sustainable tourism, capacity building in the rural communities and marketing. I hold a Master's Degree in Geography, specializing in Sustainable Tourism, from the Institute of Alpine Geography, Grenoble, France. I think there is a lot to learn from the Old World in terms of Tourism Dev. I am also happy to share about what is going on in the Kootenays, where we have dynamic entrepreneurs and vibrant communities!
