-- ABOUT ME --Welcome to a Theoretical Introduction to Tourism!
My name is Caitlin and I have just recently completed my studies at Monash University where I completed a Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation as well as a Bachelor of Buisness with a major in Marketing & Communications and minor in Tourism. In 2013, in my first year of university I undertook a unit called an Introduction to Tourism. To meet the unit requirements, I was required to complete three assignments covering the theoritical knowledge of tourism. I hope that this website assists you with either your own studies and/or expansion of knowledge. Last updated 15th December 2015 -- Instagram --Follow my latest adventures
