destination
development
Growing a tourism destination is a complex process and value-chain combining numerous, inter-dependent factors. Orchestrating success is one of our strengths.

hotel & resorts
Quality, commercially viable accommodation builds tourism destinations. However, Hotels & Resorts place high demand on resources with potentially negative impacts on local communities, the environment, and ecosystems. Balance, risk avoidance and appropriate mitigation must be the aim in managing the design, development and operation of hotels.

sustainability
Sustainability (ESG) reporting is a business requirement in most destinations.*
ESG reporting is the new business accounting regime – based on C-emissions, environmental and social impacts. The scale, scope and data requirements for this reporting cuts across every aspect of Tourism & Resort development, changing how we have to think about everything. We make sense of this process.

PLAN B – When projects go wrong?
In special cases we can call out some “Big Guns”: Industry recognised best-in-class specialists solely focused on the issues plaguing a project, those often illusive organisational problems needing a quick fix. This can be a stressful time, but taking measured steps to save a company and its investors just cannot be avoided.

Carbon emissions and biodiversity loss are the greatest threats to human society. Acknowledged by 190 countries under the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the UN International Panel on Climate Change, (Paris Agreement) aims to limit global warming to 1.5° C. Tourism is a significant contributor to Carbon emissions, as is the construction of hotels & resorts. Tourism and Hospitality consume significant resources and produce excessive waste in their operations. Every incremental effort to protect the destinations we visit must be made at all stages.
