With experience of delivering world class revenue management systems for tour operators since the 1990s, Carey Tourism is able to include specialist expertise of this discipline in all its work.
Historically, tourism strategies have been about growth in revenue and visitors. In the light of the Climate Emergency, this is no longer realistic, and the aim of a tourism strategy must be to deliver sustainable development, which is the focus of Carey Tourism.
To be relevant, tourism development must be sustainable. In essence, this means aligning strategy and objectives to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Recently, CT has delivered a workshop with Equality in Tourism on tourism and sustainable development for DfID.
Benjamin Carey privately advises individuals on travel plans and responsible behaviours, especially when travelling in more unusual destinations. In 2004, he was appointed by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office to its newly established Travel Advice Review Group and its successor Consular Stakeholder Panel, which also comprised the UK’s leading travel industry organisations and NGOs.
