My journey in the Tourism industry has been a remarkable adventure, rooted in my pursuit of knowledge and passion for sustainable travel. It all began with a Bachelor's degree in Tourism Administration, where I laid the foundation for a fulfilling career. As a Communication Intern at the Pacific Asia Travel Association, I gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of the industry, honing my skills in marketing, public relations, and event coordination. It was here that I realized the potential of tourism to promote cultural exchange and environmental conservation. My dedication paid off when I earned a scholarship to study for a Climate-Friendly Travel Diploma, through SUNx Malta in collaboration with ITS Malta; furthering my commitment to sustainable tourism practices. This experience has not only enriched my knowledge but also solidified my dedication to shaping a more responsible and eco-conscious tourism sector. Climate friendly travel holds immense importance for me when considering the future of travel. My motivation to build people power and fight for climate justice stems from a deep desire to create a future of travel that is truly climate friendly.
