    Creating a Beautiful Legacy out of Grief - Hilke Flebbe

    Hilke Flebbe was just starting her law degree at Cambridge when she received the sudden and terrible news that her mother had died. At age 22, Hilke was left alone in the world - and with an unfinished old hotel that her mother had been restoring in Lubeck, Germany. Not only that, but she was faced with inheriting her mother’s debts which ran to millions of Euros. She had the chance to walk away but she chose to fulfil her mother’s dream. Klassik Altstadt Hotel in the heart of Lubeck became her destiny - and now her legacy to her son. Hilke joins podcast host Yang-May Ooi on this episode of Creative Conversations to share her moving and inspiring story.  For photos, links and music credits, go to the shownotes page at bit.ly/creativeconversations-podcast or www.tigerspirit.co.uk/blog  and click through to Creative Conversations.

    The Future of Tourism in Oxford - Mary Clarkson

    How has the pandemic and restrictions on travel affected place-based tourism? What is a destination city like Oxford doing to face the post-pandemic challenge of bringing people back to the city centre - both tourists and local residents alike? Our guest on Creative Conversations today is Oxford City Councillor Mary Clarkson who is the Council Labour Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Tourism. She talks passionately to host Yang-May Ooi about bringing together town and gown in Oxford for the good of the local economy as well as the university that the city is famous for.
