Tourism is one of the planet's largest industries, and one of the largest exports and drivers of economic growth globally. It is one of the top five exports in over 150 countries and ranks first in 60 countries. Tourism accounts for 10% of all economic activity on the planet and supports 1 in 10 jobs. In developing economies, tourism is often the main source of foreign exchange earnings and the most viable option for sustainable economic development.
This is true of no other industry. Developing tourism in a sustainable way can be complex. Successful tourism growth is the result of an integrated approach that includes strategy, product development, education, collaboration, and marketing. Whether we provide one service-or all of them-we are always considering big picture impacts. Strategic planning is a comprehensive process for determining what a business or destination should become and the steps needed to achieve that goal.
Solimar can help you and your key stakeholders develop an integrated strategic plan that builds clarity and consensus for future success.

Solimar's Sustainable Tourism for Development (ST4D) Alliance unites private sector tour operators, technology platforms, impact investors, and some of the greatest brands in the world to offer destinations and development organizations not only Solimar's in-depth expertise but also a coalition of private sector partners ready to support development projects, connect products to the market, and deepen our impacts.
The idea for creating the Sustainable Tourism for Development Alliance started in 2013, based on Solimar's experience as one of the founding and managing partners of the USAID Global Sustainable Tourism Alliance (2008-2013), which leveraged USAID investments to generate counterpart funding in Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Uganda, Ethiopia, Mali, Montenegro, and Albania to support sustainable tourism and biodiversity conservation.
