Acknowledgements

This free course was written by Dr Kerry Somerset with thanks to Matt, Zoe D and Zoe W and the rest of the team for their enthusiasm and commitment to this project. Also to the incredible ‘Tourism Ladies’ Elissa Williams and Kassia Somerset-Brake, the latter who patiently read too many drafts and the former without whom I would likely still struggle with carrying capacity (and would never have got this far). I owe you both a lot.
