Richard Wylie has worked for Tourism KwaZulu-Natal as a Researcher for the past 3 years. His responsibilities have included "a management-type role" and he is responsible for budget control as well as some other key operational functions. He has also been invited to take part in research projects outside of his main job, "which has shown that my skills as a researcher are extremely sought after and are considered as a scarce skill in many sectors of the country."

Richard did his Honours degree in Heritage and Cultural Tourism, as well as a Masters degree in Heritage and Cultural Tourism. He reflects: "Both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees have opened up so many doors in my career and I am truly grateful for lecturers and my supervisor, Prof Karen Harris, for all that they taught me during my 6 years of studies."

In addition to his studies, Richard worked on the NDT Tourism Skills and Development Project, developing a uniform training programme for tourist guides in southern Africa. "The experience and skills development that I gained from this project (of just under 3 years) has proven to be extremely valuable for my career path" he says.
