• Supervisor / Marketing Manager

  • Dec 1990 - Sep 1992

  Supervising staff and the daily operations of the restaurant, accommodation and Japanese day tour. The restaurant seated up to 200 pax and was fully licensed. The day tour activities included horseriding, grass taboganning, canoeing on the lake, shooting .22 rifles into targets and other various outdoor recreational sports. This position was my first experience into the tourism sales and marketing world. I attended conferences and sales trips on behalf of the resort, learning how the industry worked and helping the owners strengthen their business. I made lifelong friends and became hooked on an awesome industry that I am still 100% passionate about. Show less
