Lone Alletorp Callard has effectively worked with tourism all her life and also studied tourism. Being from a small and very touristic coastal village in the north of Denmark, she has, from an early age, been aware of tourists and the effect of tourism on a community. She studied Tourism Management in England and has a bachelor (BSc) and a master (MSc) in tourism management from the Universities of Plymouth and Sheffield Hallam University respectively. She has worked with almost all aspects of tourism from being a waiter in restaurants in the local village, to theme parks in both England and Denmark, to consultancy work in a big American consultancy company and to now being Head of Research in Wonderful Copenhagen. One thing, however, that has always interested her, wherever she has been working, is research, knowledge and data and how you can learn from it and perform better.
