In Pro-Poor Tourism
TRC’s people have had specific, practical experience with development that helps to direct benefits
to the poorer members of communities. TRC’s consultants know what is required to develop
sustainable, often sophisticated, tourism products based on environmental and cultural resources.
This often involves assisting with the interactions between local communities, government
agencies and private sector interests.
In the Asia Pacific Region
TRC has worked in more than 30 countries. TRC's people have up-to-date knowledge of world tourism trends, detailed understanding of Asia Pacific's tourist markets, and first hand experience of tourism products throughout the region. Many projects TRC has been associated with have won international ecotourism awards.
In Conservation Management
TRC’s people know the language of conservation and natural resource management and are able
to see the issues of tourism in national parks and protected areas through the eyes of resource
managers. Where possible, New Zealand’s Department of Conservation (DOC) will make people
available to TRC from its pool of excellent talent in protected area management.
In Economic and Social Development
TRC’s people understand development strategies and have extensive experience of tourism
as a tool for change. TRC projects regularly combine “bottom-up”, participatory planning
techniques with hard-edged market analysis and business assessments. Many of TRC’s
international projects have poverty eradication as the overriding rationale.
