Since the mid-1990s, NTG has been assisting destinations and private sector entities develop the strategic framework to more effectively compete in the challenging tourism marketplace. In executing on these assignments, NTG brings a unique set of abilities which has set them apart.

Senior Level Professionals

While many groups use senior staff to “sell” the job and juniors to “do” the work, NTG uses a mix of senior level professionals throughout the strategy process. In crafting a successful strategic tourism plan, NTG knows that half of the challenge is developing the right prescriptive initiatives to answer key challenges or opportunities. The other half, all too often overlooked, is to ensure the broad range of industry or business partners embrace and help execute the plan. This can only be accomplished if senior level professionals are interacting with the right constituent groups throughout the process.

Tested Planning Models

Over its many years of business, NTG has successfully completed tourism strategic plans from Alaska to Florida, honing its strategic planning model to ensure its clients are provided easily understood solutions, with clearly executable direction. Though interactive sessions, it uses its proprietary “DPCC” process to help segment and prioritize key strategic issues. Using its senior level professionals, it then crafts specific steps to act on these prioritize initiatives. The results – real world solutions that are easily communicated and serve as clearly defined steps to enhance the competitiveness of the destination or business.

Best Practices Database

NTG’s broad experience has allowed it to develop one of the most extensive “Best Practices” databases in the country. Rather than attempting to implement new plans or strategies and hope for the best, NTG can bring best practice solutions to the process and use these answers to give its clients a leg up.
