Professor of Tourism Development and Crisis Management
I am the Director of CERTE (Centre for Research in Tourism Excellence) at the University of Sunderland, and the Co-Director of ATHENA (Association of Tourism, Hospitality and Events Networks in Academia). I hold a doctorate (PhD) in Tourism Planning and Development, and a post-doctorate (PDoc) in Risk and Crisis Management.
I started my career in the tourism and hospitality industry in 1990, and for 10 years (2001-2010) I was also engaged in enterprising consultancy. Since 2001, I've been an academic in higher education, gaining experience from several institutions in Greece (Technological Education Institute of Crete, Hellenic OpenUniversity, EKDDA) and the UK (University of Derby, University of Northampton, Leeds Beckett University, University of West London).
I've participated in nationally and internationally funded research projects since 1998. I have numerous publications in international scientific refereed journals and conferences. Currently, I act as Associate Editor in Event Management journal and in the Frontiers in Sustainable Tourism journal, whilst I am a member of the editorial board in the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management.
