How We Can Help

Getting it Right - A Catalyst for Competitive Advantage - Re-engineering Destinations

GETTING IT RIGHT

Tourism is a two-edged sword. It can bring prosperity through jobs, foreign investment and foreign exchange. At the same time, it can damage environments, stress societies, and erode culture and values.

For tourism destinations, particularly small islands and developing countries, managing this duality is critical. They need to get it right. And if possible, from the very beginning.

...For more than a decade,

Tourism Intelligence International has been

helping countries to "get it right"...

In Southern Africa, the Caribbean, South Asia, and the Indian Ocean, we have helped governments and fledgling tourism agencies in emerging destinations to develop blueprints for sustainable, responsible tourism, and lay the foundation for viable tourism projects.

Many of these emerging destinations are now building tourism industries that are designed to encourage other sectors of the economy, involve local communities, protect cultures from over-commercialisation, and guard precious natural resources from degradation.
