Dr Andrew Jones is a Senior Lecturer at Swansea Business School Swansea Metropolitan University of & a Co-Director of CELTaS (Centre for Leisure and Tourism Research @ Swansea). He has professional experience in planning at both international, regional and local levels and has been an active member of the Royal Town Planning Institute- RTPI. Andrew has been an active practitioner, researcher and teacher in planning, conservation, regeneration and tourism planning since 1981. In his present post he is the Director for both postgraduate and undergraduate tourism programmes with subject specialisms in; Town and Country Planning; Cultural Regeneration; Tourism Development and Environmental Policy. He completed his PhD on research investigating the relationship and tensions between regeneration, the environment and sustainable tourism.

His current research activities have consolidated this broad approach with a specific interest in two particular research areas. The first consolidates work over the last decade on waterfronts and coastal zone management, tourism and regeneration and the second, a more recent interest in the development of tourism micro markets (focussing on cultural/rural community regeneration) These areas of research have enabled him to participate in a broad range of research networks and to get actively involved in his specific research community. With respect to this Andrew has carried out numerous consultancy projects relating to tourism & leisure and has published a number of industry and academic articles, reports and conference papers. In recognition of his research to the Industry he has been invited to international conferences in Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia and is currently editing two books.
