The ICRT grew substantially in 2007-8 and we will next year too.

Back in July 2007 we were struggling to complete the rewrites of the Modules for the new MSc in Responsible Tourism Management and anxious about recruitment. In the event we recruited a cohort of 50+ students and we graduated out first MSc Responsible Tourism Management student, Kate Walters, yesterday.

We have done well enough to convince the University to fund 4 new posts to grow the ICRT and enable us to broaden our expertise. Three of our new colleagues demonstrated their expertise today: Dr Emma Harvey talked about carbon reduction; Dr Rebecca Hawkins debated the industry response to the ethical and responsible agenda; and Andreas Walmsley linked Responsible Tourism with CSR and pointed to the importance of employment and labour condition to our agenda for study and change.

Out team has been strengthened by the appointment of a dedicated administrator Maria Alcahuz-Chacon. Maria has strengthened the ICRT and we look forward to sustained growth in 2008-9
