Bio

Claudia d'Almeida (M.Sc., University of Surrey, England, UK, 1995) has been a Tourism Management instructor at Capilano University since 2000, mainly teaching international students in the Tourism Management Diploma program. When the Tourism Management Diploma for international students (TMI) started in 1998, she was assigned the responsibility of re-designing the program profile of TMI. She created and is still teaching three of the four courses, namely: TOUR201 Tourism & Technology, TOUR200 Revenue Management, TOUR135 Hospitality Management and TOUR202 Strategic Marketing. These courses added a management cluster to the curriculum and were deemed more aligned with the learning interests and employable skills of TMIs international students whether they returned to their home countries or stayed in Canada.

d'Almeida was also involved in student recruitment for the TMI program until mid-2018. She understood international students and international education systems since she was also an Admissions Officer with the University of Macau and with the Macau Instituto de Formao Turstica before immigrating to Canada.

Before her relocation to Canada in 1999, d'Almeida was a Travel Services Management instructor at the Instituto de Formao Turstica as well as a Marketing Manager for a Tourism Conglomerate in Macau.

d'Almeida has been teaching full-time in Capilano University's School of Tourism Management. She also delivers professional certification courses like SABRE Airline GDS training, American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) Front Office Management and Hospitality Technology Management as well as various Canada's go2HR Emerit training courses.
