TDI is a team of mostly women tourism professionals who have practiced all aspects of sustainable tourism with a strong demand-driven emphasis — from strategy development and policy making at national and landscape levels, to specific facilities and services at people’s level.
The company’s portfolio of assistance in sustainable tourism ranges from nature-based tourism in protected areas, to increased linkages of beach resorts with local disadvantaged populations. TDI has successfully implemented multi-destination initiatives that have crossed political borders to achieve economic and branding integration. In addition, its principals have vast experience on the design of social communication strategies that ensure the community participation in the product cycle (pre investment, development, and operation).
The company has accumulated significant intelligence on the latest trends and best practices in sustainable tourism to achieve and measure impacts at people’s level like: livelihoods approach, backward linkages with the informal sector, gender equity matrix systems, e-commerce for MSMEs, and mainstreaming pro-poor tourism.
Through its seven years of work experience and recognition TDI has become part of an international network of sustainable tourism practitioners that bring key technical assistance to bear for national, regional, and international tourism markets.
