Member Endorsements
"If TCN didn’t exist as a professional body for tourism consultants, we’d need to invent it."
"If you are thinking of joining the Tourism Consultants Network, but don't see the point because you have nothing to learn or gain by talking and sharing expertise with leading experienced colleagues..... then my advice is, don't join - but consider the possibility that you could be wrong."
“TCN is our go-to for networking and sharing industry best practice.”
“TCN enables us to come together with other consultants, to learn about opportunities, to find partners with the right expertise, to speak with a common voice about shared concerns, and to keep up to date with latest developments.”
“The TCN is a fabulous network providing integrity for clients, professional support, knowledge and information exchange, and opportunities for collaboration.”
“As a self-employed consultant, I've found TCN invaluable over the years as a place to network with and get to know leading tourism experts, as a source of market intelligence and as a way of keeping up with developments in the consultancy field both in the UK and the wider world."
