Sustainable Tourism Development

My hands-on industry experience is the foundation of my consulting work. Since going independent, I've worked with Import Promotion Desk as well as directly with DMCs on market and commercial readiness. I'm actively taking on further consulting projects with organisations where I can add real value.

My experience spans:

• Coaching and capacity building for DMCs with Import Promotion Desk, specifically focused on European market access and matchmaking with aligned buyers at ITB and WTM

• Co-leading a Tunisia FAM trip 2026 with Import Promotion Desk: developing the itinerary, liaising with the tourist board, promoting to European tour operators and coaching local SMEs for success

• Market and commercial readiness programme for DMCs new to the UK market

• Trade promotion for Angola in the UK - before Visit Angola launched their new campaign

• Organising debut DMC/buyer networking event for network of French travel agents and DMCs at WTM 2025

• Professional Certificate in Responsible Tourism from ICRT Global (run by Harold Goodwin)

• Travelife certification coach and auditor
