🌟 Massive congratulations to Lucy Read, joint runner-up in the 2026 Tourism Management Institute (TMI) Student Inspiration Award!🏆
Lucy, an International Tourism Management student at Teesside, was recognised for her presentation, Smart Palma:

‘I combined my passion for sustainable tourism with the growing world of AI, exploring how the two could work together to create a more innovative future of sustainable tourism. I decided to focus on something I genuinely care about and stay true to myself, so being recognised for it makes this achievement even more special.

A huge thank you to Dr Dennis McCall Jr for nominating me and believing in me, and to Teesside University and Teesside University International Business School for always being so supportive and giving me opportunities like this. I’m so proud to be part of such a great university!’
