Our unique combination of a thorough understanding of tourism and leisure planning, underpinned by our data and market research teams, mean we have the skills and experience to deliver tourism solutions that drive positive change.

KPMG Future Analytics offer a distinctive and client-focused service, based on our extensive industry experience and our team’s exceptional knowledge of the tourism and leisure sectors. With a strong focus on research, innovation and creativity, we also pride ourselves on a deep awareness of emerging best practice and trends in tourism and leisure development. 

Our services encompass the full range of tourism and leisure planning from initial situation and market analysis to strategic option development and action planning. Our focus on data analysis, as well as development planning, means that we can offer our clients a service that ranges from research through to obtaining final planning consent if this is required.

We have extensive experience of destination strategy development, working in partnership with tourism stakeholders to devise and implement pragmatic strategies and plans that maximise the tourism development potential of destinations, helping to create better places to live in and to visit.

We provide pragmatic advice for a wide range of clients including government agencies, local authorities, community development organisations and businesses in the tourism and leisure sector. Our well-respected reputation for rigorous, evidence-based solutions gives confidence to our clients in the robust solutions delivered.

We have market-leading experience in the development of robust, innovative and evidence-based tourism strategies. We think outside the box and seek to create strategies that will deliver growth in visitor revenue, visitor volume and that enhance visitor experience. We ensure strategies closely align with regional brand themes yet are tailored to local opportunities. We understand tourism destination and product development and seek to ensure stakeholder buy-in.

We have undertaken a wide range of feasibility studies into visitor attraction and leisure facility development ranging from nationally significant visitor attractions to local heritage development. We partner with a wide range of leading consultants including interpretative designers, architects, engineers, ecologists. 

We are experts at business case development. We have submitted successful applications for a wide range of funding programmes including URDF, RRDF, REDF, Destination Towns, and Platforms for Growth (to Stage 3). We understand the inter-play between private and public sector and have an eye for detail. 

We have delivered strategies for public sector clients on significant Green Infrastructure Strategies at county level seeking to ensure linkages can be made with neighbouring authorities. We have worked on a wide range of walking and cycling strategies and understand the opportunities effective networks bring.
