Deliver Better Experiences. Product Infrastructure and People Infrastructure.

Image of downward pointing arrow

Many destinations are single-focused on their 'Product Infrastructure', because it will entice visitors to come. But, what's often missing is a simultaneous focus on the 'People Infrastructure' ; the numerous encounters that will 'make or break' your destination's image and word-of-mouth.

That's why TEI's sister companies are dedicated to helping destinations build a knowledgeable, engaged frontline that delivers upon the brand promise. With a proven track record in aligning community stakeholders and the front-line to reinforce the destination's brand, powerful community pride and brand immersion is achieved. Residents learn that visitors are not the enemy — they fuel quality-of-life that would most likely not be present without them. Once you've gained strong community alignment, you can achieve anything.
