Sustainable Development

Quite often we see in Nature Tourism the wrong product in the right location and if that is not right then the experience isn't going to be right.  Also, it is important to ensure that the product or development fits with the environment and the natural habitats.  At RS we also look at product development in relation to the built and natural heritage of an area or destination so that too matches correctly.

One of our specialist areas is Corporate Development In Tourism and how to develop sustainable and responsible practices whether an hotel development, attraction or tourist provider and for Governmental Organisations consulting on how to develop commercially in tourism destinations and wilderness or protected areas. Conservation and Sustainable practices are about protecting for the future and also ensuring enjoyment for today and if we get it right now then tourism can be enjoyed by all stakeholders, present and future.

We are also experts in the planning and development of footpaths, cycleways and outdoor activities, whether for tourism visitors or day use. RS have also been heavily involved in planning lodge developments and advising on the siting of different types of lodges and then how to best utilise these for sale or rental.
