Reframing what success in tourism means

The Tourism Space® is a leading international consultancy that specialises in enabling sustainable, regenerative and collaborative approaches to tourism.

 

We provide training, facilitation, coaching, speaking and consultancy services to government departments, public sector agencies, not-for-profit organisations, European Institutions and EU-funded projects.
 
We partner with public sector teams who wish to authentically and effectively support tourism businesses and clusters to transition to a sustainable and regenerative future. We do this by curating bespoke solutions for the tourism trade.
.

We are part of the global movement for an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economic system. 

 

Why Tourism? 

We have built a business we love in the place that we love. We followed our hearts and let our place be the anchor for our work and family life. We believe wholeheartedly in the power of place, of connection, belonging and legacy. We owe a lot to our own place. 

We believe in the power of tourism to transform lives and livelihoods. We believe in the power of tourism to build pride and community spirit, to create conditions for nature and places to thrive.  

In an increasingly technology-driven world, we think tourism is important. We love working in a space that will always be about real people in real places doing real things in real-time.
