Strategy tells you where to go.
Communication inspires people to go there with you.
It’s the only thing that ever does.

and the reason we enjoy working with places, public and private organisations in the field of heritage and tourism on optimising their communications and realising their goals: branding, visitor and resident experience development, crisis management,
heritage interpretation and conservation, stakeholder engagement and alignment.
We assist in developing a solid strategic narrative and in bringing clarity and coherence in (marketing and corporate) communication, concept and content development.

We look back on an intensive but also enjoyable period in which a lot of knowledge and inspiration was gathered and shared. Thanks for the good cooperation. We hope to use the expertise of the agency again in the near future.

Marc Kocken | Province of Zeeland | Heritage Zeeland | About the 2022-2023 Zeeland heritage lines research and story-based visitor experience development project.  

The participation of Ms. ElginNijhuis was of great importance for this event given her advanced facilitation and presentation skills, her ability to create a welcoming and engaging environment and lead group
activities as well as her knowledge on the matter transmitted and made available to participants during the
whole event.

Omar Valdez | Executive Director | About the 2022 UNWTO Academy Course on Strategy
& Planning for Tourism MSMEs.
 

As tourism begins to gradually return to parts of the world, it is important to reflect on what that tourism will look like and how it will impact travelers and destinations. Slow tourism is one of those unique approaches that emphasizes experiences and benefits to local communities, particularly in rural areas. The program that Karin Elgin Nijhuis and her colleagues have put together over the past year, with more labs to come, provides an exceptional overview and discourse on how to support and promote this unique, sustainable form of tourism.
