The current media and influences landscape requires a resilient (place) brand and reputation and excellence in visitor and resident experience development. We assist organisations and businesses in the field of heritage and tourism in coping with these challenges by developing a solid strategic narrative and by bringing clarity and coherence in (marketing and corporate) communication.

Communication hands-on. Our Full Circle Content Creation Canvas informs the planning and creation of content across each stage of the customer experience journey. We love concept and content development, partnering with specialists and/or your team, for corporate or marketing, offline or online purposes.
Coaching
Developing a competitive identity, co-creating memorable visitor experiences, collaborating to preserve cultural and natural heritage… all this requires empowering organisations and communities through capacity building and creating the mindset necessary to successfully turn values into practices.

‘Slow Tourism’ is receiving increasing attention and referred to as an alternative to modern mass tourism and its negative impacts on places, communities and tourism. The HTHIC2020 session ‘Heritage & Slow Tourism’ will explore questions, such as:
- What is Slow Tourism: a mindset, a lifestyle, behaviour, marketing, a tourism product or tool for tourism development?
- What can be learned from existing Slow Tourism and Slow Adventure projects?
- Who are the consumers of Slow Tourism products ?
- What is or could be the role of Slow Food and Cittaslow?
- How does Slow Tourism contribute to the preservation of natural and cultural heritage and the SDGs?
Thank you so much for organising such an interesting and fruitful conference. It was a great pleasure to speak with professionals, researchers and professors from the cultural heritage and tourism field during the sessions.

As a communications student I assisted Karin in researching and compiling the Handbook on E-marketing for Tourism Destinations. She provided clear guidance and strong support while I worked in my thesis. I gained hands-on experience and insight in global digital marketing trends and this definitely boosted my employment prospects.
