"I've really enjoyed my time at LCIBS on the Diploma in International Tourism Management, and am very pleased to have been awarded my diploma 'with distinction'. The teachers here are top class, and studying at the college has also given me an international perspective, plus the skills to start a career in tourism. Now I've finished my course, I'm planning to return to Australia, ideally to Queensland. I'd like to work in a marketing role for either the Regional tourist office or an island resort."
