About me.

Who am I and what brought me here.

Hello.

I am Alöna (pronounced as Alyona) - an experienced project manager and a passionate researcher with the newly-acquired PhD. My expertise lies in sustainable tourism development in small rural and island destinations, with strategic planning being the foundation for such development.

I am also an active advocate for tourism in Scotland, passionate about our country and its people. I am interested in projects that promote sustainability and fairness, respecting the past and developing a better world for future generations.
