I am an associate lecturer in tourism, working towards a PhD qualification, and I am looking for people who would be willing to assist me with my research.

After years of working, and being involved in the travel industry, I believe there is a pressing need for tour operators to change the way they handle their clients. So, quite simply, I am looking for people who would be willing to share their bad and not so bad holiday experiences with me.

Although I am unable to take up any individual complaints with companies, on behalf of others, with your help, the overall outcome may go some way to pursuade operators to change their practices.

From this forum, I know that there are plenty of you out there that have various stories to tell, I just hope that some of you will be willing to tell them to me. If you feel that you may be able to assist me with my research, then please send me a PM, or email me on clareifoster@aol.com.

Many thanks,
Clare.
