Many tourism marketers and social media ‘gurus’ like to talk about tourism marketing and digital strategy but I walk the walk. I’m an active blogger with over 23,000 followers on my social media channels and over 14,000 loyal and engaged unique monthly readers on my blog Get In the Hot Spot.

Tourism marketing isn’t just my job. It’s my passion.

While most people love travel I’ve planned my life around it and, while many people dabble in digital marketing, I’ve been studying it since 1995. Tourism marketing emerged as my specialty naturally based on my twin passions for travel and marketing.

I’ve worked hard to build an impeccable global reputation and my prime concern is to add benefit to your business. I focus on creating solutions that will give you with an excellent long-term return on your investment.
