Innovation isn’t about invention—it’s about progress.
It’s about seeing the potential for something larger, better, and more meaningful. Over my 30+ years in tourism marketing and development, one thing has become crystal clear: you learn to climb mountains by climbing them.

Why Tourism Alchemist?
Because transforming an industry as nuanced and complex as tourism and destination development requires wearing many hats. I’ve been a Cultural Anthropologist, Technologist, Advertiser, Partner-Developer, and Futurist—all in pursuit of understanding and evolving the way we build and promote destinations and privately-owned industry companies.

What’s the track record?
I’ve improved 400+ destinations and private-sector tourism companies, earned a collection of awards, served on numerous boards, and contributed articles to the industry’s thought leadership.
