Consulting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I offer 16 years experience in tourism consultancy predominantly focusing on the development of sustainable tourism in the national and international context, criteria\/indicator development, monitoring studies and the assessment of existing tourism products and programs. To ensure sustainable success, the development proposals also address the needs of the wider community in ways that promote regional and cross-sectoral integration.<\/p>\n

Global Sustainable Tourism Council <\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2016 I joined the Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC\u00ae) on behalf of WWF. This includes being a member of the International Standards Committee, the Assurance Panel and the Destination Stewardship Committee. The GSTC manages the GSTC Criteria, global standards for sustainable travel and tourism; as well as providing international accreditation for sustainable tourism Certification Bodies.<\/p>\n

The GSTC Assurance Panel seeks to recognize and accredit standards and certification programs that are credible, transparent, impartial, and comply with the GSTC Criteria for sustainable tourism. For more info click\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Criteria and indicator development<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Credible verification of sustainable policies, operations and impacts of tourism businesses and destinations is key to the transformation of sustainable tourism. Since 2016 I am woking on developing tourism criteria and indicators to assist this transformation, whether on the global level by revising the global GSTC sustainable tourism criteria or on regional level by developing a sustainable tourism index for South Tyrol.<\/p>\n

Sustainable tourism training<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In order to ensure a more sustainable future, destinations must educate, train, and support their travel industry stakeholders (operators, hotels, DMO\u2019s, etc). And I am \u00a0happy to support it as a trainer of the GSTC Sustainable Tourism Training Program (STTP)<\/a>. The GSTC has developed a popular training to educate stakeholders on the use of contemporary tools and resources to facilitate the transition to sustainable practices. We offer a 2-3-day in-person training class or a facilitated online course. It is also possible to book a tailored training for your companies\u2019 or destinations\u2019 need.<\/p>\n

International marketing & representation <\/strong><\/h2>\n

I can fall back on 10 years experience in destination representation, international marketing and B2B cooperation, e.g. acquisition of tour operators, press presentations and trade shows. From 2009 to 2019 I was the official representative of the state Brandenburg in the Netherlands for the Tourism Marketing Brandenburg GmbH.<\/p>\n

Events\/conferences<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

I offer hands-on experience in organizing and managing conferences, workshops, awards and study trips. My portfolio includes e.g. organizing the federal \u201cSustainable Tourism Award 2012\u201d, the \u201cEuropean Destination Award of Excellence 2010\u201d for the German Tourism Association and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology or the conference \u201cTourism, Biodiversity and Climate Change\u201d for the Federal Ministry of the Environment.<\/p>\n
