Blue Sail

We presented Blue Sail with quite a complicated challenge, and one that would require carefully untangling, in the development of a regional Destination Management Plan. Through carefully listening to the needs and asks of individuals and small groups, understanding the problems we were trying to solve and having a solid basis of good data and sound ideas, we are delighted that the resulting plan feels special, and unique to us, our destinations, and businesses. This is a plan that is both challenging yet achievable and one that has a clear delivery model.

The Destination Management Plan produced by Blue Sail is clear, concise, ambitious but also achievable. It not only gives us a strategic focus but creates a dynamic and exciting plan for tourism in the Borough. Their approach has meant that we have a plan that fits with and reads well alongside other Council and connected regional strategies ensuring buy in from a number of stakeholders. Blue Sail were wonderful to work with, brought vast expertise and I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

The work that Blue Sail did has been really valuable in setting the direction/focus of activity for Edinburgh for the next couple of years, so many thanks for that. I really enjoyed and valued working with them.

We found Blue Sail to be a very professional, competent and engaging consultancy who worked well with a broad range of stakeholders during the process. The finished product is a high quality DMP which will help all those involved in Tourism within Pembrokeshire to work together to achieve our collective vision. They ensured that the DMP is well aligned to the Visit Wales strategy, which will put us in a strong position to seek funding and other support to deliver the plan.

Thanks so much for your presentation yesterday. It was absolutely on the nail and just what we needed.Please be completely assured that I am already reflecting on it, absorbing it and will use it absolutely to drive improvements and developments!

We commissioned Blue Sail to undertake a major strategy review. The project, a Tourism Sector Growth Plan for Warwickshire, 2023-28, involved extensive research and consultation with multiple stakeholders across Warwickshire from the public and private sectors. The team delivered a set of concise, comprehensive reports on time and on budget. We were delighted with the results which provide a clear evidence base, plus a cohesive vision and strategy to unite all partners, coupled with some very practical action plans for delivery by the County Council.

Thank you very much for delivering the [online] workshop in your usual outstanding style and with right on point content and the report is perfect. It was great to work with you again.
