Destination Services completed a tourism master plan with Young Strategies and then worked with us for over a year to implement that plan. Steve Powell works beyond the scope and develops a realistic roadmap, he is always there when needed. Steve has been in my shoes and gives guidance that is spot on.

Steve Powell produced a highly detailed hotel/convention center statistical analysis that identified markets, risks, center components, configuration and potential for success. His analysis has encouraged developers to move forward.

The research provided by Destination Services convinced me to move forward with an 80 room boutique hotel and a $12 million investment. Furthermore, Steve Powell went the extra mile to lay the groundwork for a major attraction adjacent to the hotel as a room night generator.
