We offer the following destination services:
tourism master plans
comprehensive tourism development plans - consisting of a comprehensive analysis of the current situation, a development strategy, the definition of key projects and a concrete action plan – including all areas important for a successful tourism destination development (tourism product development, marketing, organizational structure, accommodation supply)
tourism master plans involve the key tourism stakeholders of the destination and can be prepared for a certain geographic area (e.g. country, region, city, mountain destination, municipality, tourism cluster, tourism development zone) or for a certain type of tourism (e.g. wine tourism, sport tourism, cultural tourism)
business plans/best use studies
we support project initiators (public administrations/private investors) during the planning phase of new greenfield tourism projects by preparing business plans or best use studies, to define the planned project from a touristic/economic point of view - general questions like „which elements need to be realized in development phase 1? “what is the expected investment and the realistic annual operational profit?” or “how to improve the investment attractiveness?” will be answered
business plans can be prepared for example for mountain or spa destinations – best use studies are ideal for tourism development zones and land plots reserved for tourism projects
feasibility studies
we support project initiators (public administrations or private investors) during the planning phase of a new tourism product or an attraction by preparing a feasibility study
