In my capacity as Manager of the Council of Europe Programme dedicated to sustainable tourism, it is my pleasure to have the opportunity to act as a referee for Jack Delf. Jack is a highly competent consultant / trainer who assisted me with both the conceptual vision of my programme and its practical implementation. Jack has the unique skill set of impressive theoretical knowledge as well as practical, hands on experience gained from building and managing a company dedicated to sustainable tourism; this made his contribution to the development of my programme invaluable. Jack not only designs and delivers course materials that show great knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject, he is also a seasoned trainer in new and emerging forms of tourism, travel marketing and entrepreneurship for tourism SMEs. Jack is dynamic and remarkably personable and very generous with his time. These qualities as well as his willingness to contribute energy and ideas to improving the experience of learning meant that he was consistently ranked first in trainee evaluations over the four years he worked in my programme. My task in the Programme was to develop a replicable model for training of local operators in sustainable tourism along cultural routes. This work is now completed. Should the Programme expand next year and continue in other European regions, I would not hesitate to invite Jack to engage in it. – Madelena Grossmann, Manager of European Heritage Days Programme, Manager of Sustainable Tourism Capacity Building Programme, Directorate General II – Democracy
