Culture and Heritage is now the fastest growing tourism sector representing 40% of all global tourism receipts (UNESCO). It is the uniqueness of a destination, it’s culture and its people that are driving this surge in growth. However, developing more responsible, sustainable, and equitable tourism plans and policies that serve to preserve and protect these assets is an area that needs specialist skills and expertise.

Why Spinning Globe

I established Spinning Globe with the aspiration of empowering companies in the vibrant travel & tourism sector to transcend their limitations. This particularly pertains to those grappling with smaller budgets or marketing teams compared to their rivals. Discovering innovative solutions to longstanding marketing challenges such as lack of visibility or differentiation in brand positioning is our raison d’être. 

I have spent my entire working life in the marketing sector working collaboratively with some amazing talent and it gives me great pleasure to bring this particular collaboration to the travel & tourism industry focussed on helping our clients thrive.
