Dr Bremner received a ‘Top Achiever’ Doctoral scholarship from the Foundation of Research Science and Technology to complete his PhD into a history of tourism development at Te Wairoa, New Zealand. The resulting thesis highlighted the inter-relationship between cultures in a tourism setting and illustrated the different layers of meaning that are culturally inscribed into the landscape. The research was deliberately inter-disciplinary and this approach has continued into his current research which combines history, sociology and tourism studies.
