Dianne Dredge, PhD

I first met Axel when he was enrolled in my class Destination Analysis, in the Master's Program at Aalborg University. Axel was always highly engaged and an enthusiastic member of the group who participated with thoughtful questions and insights. Axel is a highly dedicated and disciplined professional, and he engaged in destination fieldwork with great care. He works well in group work, and was often in a leadership role in these situations. Building on these qualities he was appointed as a student advisor in his second year to help and mentor incoming students. I wish Axel well in his search for a position in tourism/tourism research and am confident he would be an asset to the organisation, showing much dedication, loyalty and commitment.
