Sustainable Tourism & Economic Development

Tourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world, generating over 10% of global GDP and supporting millions of jobs. But tourism is not only a source of economic growth, it is also a powerful tool for social and economic inclusion. 

At Konesens Development, we believe that tourism can be a catalyst for positive change in low-income and transitional economies, where many people face challenges such as poverty, inequality, conflict, and environmental degradation. That's why we work with governmental entities, companies, investors, and NGOs to design and implement projects that promote sustainable tourism, agriculture, and renewable energy. 

We support the development tourism experiences that benefit both the visitors and the host communities, fostering a deeper understanding of our shared humanity and a greater appreciation of our diverse cultures and natural heritage. Through partnerships, we aim to enhance the economic development of the destinations we work with, by supporting the creation opportunities for local businesses, improving infrastructure, attracting foreign direct investment, and strengthening the supply chain. 

We offer a range of services to help our clients achieve their goals, such as:

• Visitor Profile & Satisfaction Studies: We conduct surveys and interviews with tourists to understand their preferences, motivations, expectations, and satisfaction levels. This helps us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the destination, as well as the potential areas for improvement and innovation.

• Foreign Direct Investment: We facilitate the attraction and retention of foreign investors who are interested in developing tourism projects that align with our values and principles. We provide them with market research, feasibility studies, risk analysis, and project management support.

• Market Research & Development Strategies: We analyze the current and future trends of the tourism market, both globally and locally. We help our clients to define their target segments, positioning, branding, and marketing strategies. We also assist them in developing new products and services that meet the needs and expectations of the tourists.

• Supply Chain Studies: We assess the existing supply chain of the destination, from the producers to the consumers. We identify the gaps and opportunities for enhancing the quality, efficiency, sustainability, and inclusiveness of the supply chain. We also help our clients to establish partnerships with local suppliers, especially those from marginalized groups such as women, youth, and ethnic minorities.
