Consulting for Sustainable Tourism Policy

We work with governments, ministries, regional and local authorities and associations

Setting The Political Course For Far-Sighted Planning, Development and Management of Tourism

Tourism policy takes place at all spatial levels and is a cross-cutting task involving different policy fields. It is responsible for providing an adequate framework for the tourism industry and deals with tourism planning, infrastructure promotion, access to funding and the development of standards, among other things.

We therefore focus our consulting on providing valid information, analyses and recommendations for political actors in order to facilitate decision-making processes and the implementation of measures in favour of an economically effective and at the same time resilient and sustainable tourism development. In addition, we support the design of a value-oriented tourism policy and develop suitable steering instruments for tourism in order to strengthen its positive effects and minimize negative impacts.

How Do We Support Tourism Policymaking?

We offer services from a single source and accompany tourism policy decision-makers from the analysis to the concrete implementation of measures.
