The research presented in this report suggests that nearly 2.000.000 EU citizens in 1996 were enrolled in a distance training course and that a further 600.000 were enrolled in distance education courses at university level. Training in the EU is a complex field on which it is difficult to get accurate data. The effort to get data on distance training is even more challenging. This is a preliminary study, setting out markers in the field. All the data and conclusions in it will benefit from further analysis, clarification and correction. My thanks go to the many researchers in the field who agreed to be interviewed for the purposes of the study. Dozens of other experts made their time and expertise available to answer telephone calls, faxes or emails and my gratitude goes equally to them.

  • A Slice of Tourism: the Nature, Dimensions and Geographies of International Golf Tourism in New Zealand
    A Slice of Tourism: The Nature, Dimensions and Geographies of International Golf Tourism in New Zealand By Chris Gazley Victoria University 2010 A thesis submitted to the Institute of Geography, Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science i Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who helped me during my long year of writing this thesis. Thank you to my supervisor, Richard Willis for his guidance and many hours spent on this; to Sophia for also helping with ideas, proof reading and for motivation when I needed it; to Conway for helping with all things to do with computers and finally to all research participants for their thoughts. This thesis would not have been possible without them. ii Abstract Tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world and for New Zealand it is the most important industry along with dairy. Of the 2.5 million tourists who visit New Zealand each year, it is estimated that around 65,000 (3%) of visitors will play at least one game of golf while in the country. New Zealand’s profile as a golfing destination has increased in recent years and now boasts a number of the worlds top ranked courses. This, along with the low cost of playing golf in New Zealand has made it an attractive golfing destination. This thesis aims to gain a greater insight into the nature and dimensions of the golf tourism industry in New Zealand and of those who visit. This research was conducted through a range of interviews with 19 stakeholders in the golf tourism industry, as well as a golfer’s questionnaire to which 44 international visitors responded.
