IPDT Services
How we can help?
As tourism consultancy specialists, we advise, develop, manage, promote and monitor the performance of tourist destinations and companies.
Sustainability
From conservation to international certifications.
We organize and advise on sustainability certification processes for tourist destinations and organizations. In the field of tourism sustainability, we draw up sustainable tourism plans, that support long-term development measures with positive impacts on people and territories.
Digital Communication
From branding to qualified destination promotion.
We develop digital communication and tourism promotion strategies that position brands at the top of consumers’ minds. We create and implement digital communication strategies aimed at tourism markets – websites, social networks and search engine positioning.
Tourism, Health and Beauty
From strategy and communication to creating the experience.
We guarantee the reach of high-interest international audiences that allow companies and clinics to generate more contacts from international clients, more medical appointments, and an increase in their followers’ base through communication that is differentiated from that of their competitors.
Cultural Heritage
From preparing application files to structuring experiences and communication.
We recommend applications for two safeguarding mechanisms: the inscription of an intangible expression in the National Inventory of Cultural and Intangible Heritage and the application for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
