Capabilities - Project Management

TTC works across the world in the tourism sector covering local, regional and national strategies. We provide realistic approaches to tourism development and marketing, focusing on the development of strategies and plans which set stretching but achievable goals.

We inform our clients through our up to the minute knowledge of world tourism trends which we place in the context of the country, region or local area. We take into account local trends and issues and consult widely to achieve consensus over the way forward.
TTC prides itself in identifying with the client and understanding the special issues and concerns that can impact on the people as well as the economy.

We believe fervently in developing sustainable tourism. The following case studies indicate the range of what we do in tourism:

National Conference Centre, Dublin

TTC has project managed this key development for business tourism in Ireland for a major private sector client. From concept to planning inquiry through market planning, feasibility, operational capability and funding - TTC has organised and managed the development process. The project is now under construction and poised to become a leading European conference centre.

Powerscourt Golf & Hotel Resort

The first Ritz Carlton Hotel in the British Isles opened at Powerscourt in Autumn 2007 providing outstanding world class accommodation. TTC worked with the owners of this prestigious development in Co Wicklow near Dublin to help provide championship golf facilities and an international standard hotel complex. A blend of old and new makes this one of the most exciting hotel resorts in Ireland.

Ulster Tower, The Somme

TTC examined the management and purpose of the Ulster Tower on the Somme for the Dept of Finance & Personnel in Northern Ireland to establish the justification for funding. TTC then worked with the Somme Association to prepare a Management Plan for this prestigious memorial to the 36 th Ulster Division in World War 1.

Sixtowns Community Group

TTC worked with a cross-community group in County Tyrone to help them get a tourism project back on track and to help build capacity within the group. This was a project within a Pilot Programme of the International Fund for Ireland and the Department of Agriculture & Rural Development which gave consultancy support to newly completed projects.

Hillsborough Castle Gardens

TTC was commissioned by the Northern Ireland Office to undertake a review of the management and maintenance of the Historic Landscaped Gardens of Hillsborough Castle - once the home of the Governor of Northern Ireland and now the Secretary of State's residence. Best practise in a number of major gardens in England and Northern Ireland was drawn on and a future development plan set in place which can return the gardens to their original state. A new management and staffing structure has been proposed.

Coleraine Borough Council Caravan Parks

TTC was commissioned by CBC to examine the future of its signature caravan parks at Juniper Hill and Carrick Dhu. The objective was to consider future options which would maximise returns to the council and to provide for major future investments necessary to achieve modern standards. The report was accepted by the Council.
