"Travel is the language of peace" (Mahatma Gandhi)

Tourism isn't just an 'industry'. Travelling connects people, cultures, languages, tastes, communities and societies and certainly has impact on environment, society and culture. Currently, the tourism sector must ensure that sustainability does not remain a buzzword, but that it seriously takes responsibility and becomes a good travel industry. Holger Sigmund can contribute to this with his knowledge, his experience and support with some useful tools.

• Sustainable Tourism: Supporting and advising businesses and destinations on sustainable development, sustainability processes and programmes. Holger Sigmund is a GSTC member, Green Destinations representative and co-founder of the Green Destinations DACH Region network.
• Hospitality Management: The focus is online reputation, guest relation, guest communication, feedback management, pricing & distribution.
• Destination Management: Broad experience with collaboration within destinations, internal and external communication, product management, incoming, design of services, workflows & processes.
• Tour Operator: Relevant experience in management, service design, operations & processes, product development, purchasing services for business and leisure travel.

Tourism and Hotel Industry both are dominated by many small businesses on the one hand side and a concentration of few really big market leaders on the other.  Holger Sigmund is used to work for owner- or family-run SMEs as well as large groups and corporations.

Some of his renowned clients are TUI, Booking.com, Accor Hotels, Motel One, Deutsche Hospitality, InterContinental Hotels Group, Sylt Marketing, Lech-Zürs Tourismus, Zermatt Tourismus, Alpenregion Bludenz Tourismus, Visit Småland, Tourism in Skåne, IDM Südtirol - Alto Adige, Vorarlberg State Tourist Office and Visit Sweden.
