In a groundbreaking initiative, Australian entrepreneurs Liz Ward and Fabienne Wintle have launched the Tourism Tribe Expert Directory, a new feature within their award-winning TourismTribe.com education platform. This innovative directory is designed to connect tourism businesses with recommended and trusted consultants and solution providers, helping them grow their businesses, digitally transform, and gain efficiencies in their operations.

From 25th July 2024, tourism businesses and destination marketing organisations worldwide will have access to this qualified expert directory of suppliers and consultants. The platform aims to provide essential support for tourism operators looking to enhance their digital presence and operational capabilities. “We believe the Tourism Tribe Expert Directory is a unique resource that exists nowhere else in the world. It’s essential to make this service available to attract the best-of-breed solutions and suppliers that our industry can tap into. Our mission is to support tourism operators by connecting them with top-tier experts who are committed to helping them succeed,” said co-founder and CEO, Liz Ward.

The Tourism Tribe Expert Directory works on a peer-to-peer basis, providing the tourism industry with a directory of recommended solutions and consultants. This is the first time tourism operators will be able to easily find the tech tools and help they need. Every supplier listed takes a solemn pledge to commit to the industry by supporting them to the highest standards and quality of work. “We know the directory is badly needed. Our team is always being asked for recommendations on products and consultants, and we need to have a level of trust that the suppliers we refer tourism operators to will look after them. Their pledge and peer recommendations will give the operator assurance of their commitment to the industry,” said Fabienne Wintle, co-founder and CIO.
