 Getting to Know Your Colleague Romain Blondel

Romain Blondel recently entered  the MTA Program with the goal to transition from hospitality to the tourism industry.  He  completed his BA in Hospitality Management and Finance in Switzerland and UK. Also he has extensive international hospitality experience. Working for  La  Mamaounia, a palace in Marrakech, Morocco  front of office  and in two palaces in Cannes(France), essentially back of the house: assistant  revenue manager. 

What projects have you been working on that you want to share with the readers?
Currently I am working on a project in Professor Seleni’s course  Managing Destination Organizations. The project  thoroughly assess Tourism Governance in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It may be a tiny country  in between France, Belgium and Germany, but according to the UNWTO, it is one of the greatest  tourism earners per international traveller. I requested an interview with the Attaché of the  Government for more in-depth information. I took the opportunity to promote our program there, and introduced the idea of a thesis / work collaboration with them. 
What career plan do you have after you complete the MTA Program?
Currently I would like to gain experience in Tourism Governance in order to become a consultant  or a researcher in the long term. I am  also considering doing a PhD later. Since I love traveling and experiencing new countries. I would like to live in different countries. 

What is an unusual talent that you have?
 Having lived in many countries, I have developed a passion for geopolitics, cultures, languages, people and  food. Consequently, I bond very easily with people with different backgrounds or nationalities. A great  advantage of being curious is that it makes the travel experience more comprehensive and enriching.
