UK Tourism Policy
Today, we gave a presentation of our analysis of the UK Government’s tourism policy at the University of the Aegean’s fith annual conference on tourism in Rhodes, Greece. You can view the presentation below. A journal article on this will be published soon and I’ll update this post with the details when this happens.

April 2, 2013
The Chinese Government has launched a new tourism policy, with the aim of significantly enhancing tourism development in the country and establishing China’s tourism industry as a significant economic force in China’s domestic and international tourism markets.

London vs. New York: Who is winning?
November 23, 2012
These are the details of an event being run by the London branch of the Institute of Economic Development. I became secretary of the branch a few months ago and I’m really looking forward to working with them, especially on events and where we can develop links into our work in EDReC at the University […]
London 2012: Good value for money
July 23, 2012
I’m going to be on the BBC News tonight, at some point around 9pm, debating the legacy of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games with Ian Sinclair, who has had a great deal to say about the negative impacts of the Olympics in East London. I take the view that 2012 is making a hugely […]

This is a short blog post that I’ve written for the Crossovers blog, that we’ve been developing to help stimulate some debate before the Crossovers event on 19th September, which I’ll blog about later in the week.

Some advice for the government on their new tourism policy Pt. 2 – support for the tourism industry
January 18, 2011
British governments operating under the neoliberal consensus of the last thirty years or so have avoided developing industrial policy, believing that it is not the job of governments to ‘pick winners’ (see the recent Forgemasters furore), but that markets will select those business and sectors most deserving of reward. This approach has not been universal […]
Some advice for the government on their new tourism policy pt.1
January 10, 2011
There will be a new tourism policy launched by the UK government at some point in the next few months. This will supersede ‘Winning: a strategy for 2012 and beyond’, an artefact of the previous administration, and will complement the new tourism framework that is being produced by Visit Britain. You can see the Culture […]
