Tourism guru Shaun Van Eck is heading home to Port Elizabeth from where he will operate his tourism coaching. He is driven by a quest to bring a revolutionary focus to the local level of tourism. Last night we attended the launch of his book “The Tourism Coach” held at the GFI Art Gallery, Park Drive, Port Elizabeth. Covering marketing, service excellence and self-leadership, this is the first business book in South Africa written specifically for entrepreneurs in the tourism sector, from guesthouse owners and tour operators to food truck operators and rickshaw drivers. “The Tourism Coach” is a practical guide to making money from tourism. Shaun says: “I want to serve and inspire local tourism entrepreneurs and their teams, as well as the local tourism offices that serve them. My book is a passionate effort to communicate practical step-by-step actions that are easy to do and deliver results. Next, I would like to deliver inspiring and results-orientated talks in over fifty towns and cities and be part of creating a more engaged, connected and aligned local tourism level that works as a team to deliver authentic and engaging tourism experiences to the world. I love giving people hope and bringing the best out in them! Let’s work together and create a positive and irresistible local tourism revolution.”
