Am gathering resources for the Tour Guide specialty. One of our team members, Kevin Flaherty alerted me to a new article on Campbell Live, looking at tourism impacts, carbon credits etc. So have enquired with TV3 as to how we can have access to this video (without having to buy it) Have requested they place it on YouTube so we can use it as a classroom resource. It would be ideal viewing for our Diploma in International Tourism students, initially and then for use in the Diploma for Applied Travel and Tourism. Will wait to hear what feedback we get.
We are in the process of interviewing for a tour guide lecturer. The applicants are of the highest quality and it will be a tough decision. More on that after a successful appointment.
Am in the final stages of working with Karen (our tour guide from Queenstown) who is helping provide us with general information for the industry.

I guess if the video stays put at that URL then you don't really need it to be on YouTube - accept the fact that its a Windows Streaming Media file, and hard to watch if you're on a sketchy connection - like I was first time. At least with YouTube and the others, its a progressive download - meaning I can press pause and let it load ahead some so I can watch it without it stuttering for a connection. Wish they would offer that. Also, its easier to download a copy of a YouTube video then it is for a streaming file - and that just be why they don't offer it as a progressive download. :( Great video content though
