Our Philosophy

With over four decades of experience of our principal consultants, it is our passion to work as partners with our clients to achieve their full potential. Tourism Economics has vast experience in providing actionable and credible analysis of tourism. Over 100 destinations and companies have trusted our staff to help them make better marketing, investment, and policy decisions. We work closely with our clients to assist in the interpretation and application of our analysis to the real decisions facing them.

Tourism Economics operates as an elite tourism consulting company in one important sense: we assign senior staff at the center of each and every project. Our project directors are integrally involved in every stage of work and are directly involved in its development. The principals who represent our work are the same who conduct the work. We have found this to be an optimal way to sustain high quality and maintain close relationships with our clients. It is also the way we enjoy working.

Economics... applied

Tourism Economics and its partner, Oxford Economics, are founded on state-of-the-art modeling expertise. This is best evidenced by the Oxford global economic model which is used by blue chip companies and governments around the world, in addition to the European Central Bank, US Treasury, World Bank and IMF. We have conducted economic impact modeling for countries, states, cities, and industries around the world and have refined our approach and communication of the results to maximize the credibility and effectiveness of the research.
