Destination Consulting
in the UK and Internationally

Colliers International Destination Consulting has worked extensively throughout the UK for many years and has been instrumental in the development of a wide range of destinations. We have helped clients to think strategically and creatively about destination development, making us a market leader in the industry and champions of new destination thinking (see Locum Destination Review). As a direct result of our work in the UK, many regions, cities, towns, visitor attractions, culture and heritage sites and event venues have become successful, dynamic and exhilarating places to either live, work or visit. Our influence in destination development, from our work on market assessments, concept development, business planning, grant funding advice to operational advice, makes us a national authority on destinations, with unrivalled experience and knowledge of the UK market.

A wide selection of our work in the UK is exhibited throughout the website, but a small sample is given below.
