It would be wrong to say we work with any particular type of organisation or company. Quite simply, we work with places, destinations and their stakeholders.
We work for nations, small island states, regions, cities, market towns or villages. Whether your destinations or businesses is urban or part of the green or blue economy we sure you’ll find we’ve worked in similar places.
In the United Kingdom we typically work with Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) which are responsible for the development and marketing of tourism at a regional and local level. We also work with Regional, City and District Councils, Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and Protected Landscapes on projects that involve tourism and the development of the visitor economy. Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) also regularly engage us for a wide range of projects including market research, feasibility studies, options appraisals, and marketing.
Internationally we engage with national tourism administrations, ministries of tourism and tourist boards to assist with the development of the tourism sector at national, regional and local levels. Often we’ll be contracted by international development agencies such as the United Nations World Tourism Organization, World Bank and International Finance Corporation, regional agencies such as the Caribbean Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank and African Development Bank or national agencies such as FCDO and BEIS in the United Kingdom, GIZ in Germany, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency or USAID.
Our vast experience in the tourism sector also attracts the private sector – tour operators, attractions, and accommodation developers amongst others, to undertake market research, business plans, planning assessments, options appraisals, and financial evaluations.
