ABOUT US

COMPANY BACKGROUND

Hoop Tourism Consulting & Design came to life during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 – essentially as a necessity for web design & integration-building within our own travel & tour companies (such as Fab 4 Taxi Tours & our consumer brands within Experience North Ltd). Our founder, Alex, expanded & updated his previous design knowledge and experience, taking him into the digital & web design fields. He also updated his expertise by attending HubSpot Academy (Certification in Content Marketing) and Google Digital Garage (Certification in Fundamentals in Digital Marketing) as well as other relevant qualifications to expand into professional web design digital marketing & (on-site) SEO.

This added design & marketing knowledge led to a profoundly deep understanding of the importance of tech integrations, booking systems & engines as well as the requirement to ensure seamless processes are in place for small and medium sized tour businesses, thus, creating an intrinsic link between good design & effective strategy. The result is an increase in efficiency and rise in profits for our clients.

To be able to fulfil the strategic aims for our clients, we have created several creative & tech-savvy partnerships with awesome hand-selected companies and individuals. Together, we help our tourism business clients find their perfect design, global distribution network, become travel trade-ready and succeed in their travel niche.

We look forward to working with you on any tourism project – from creating identity, building capacity & integrating all into one seamless process.

Personally, I have been commercially designing for 17 years (web design, brochure & print design, trade fair banner stands) and have been active in the tourism trade for 12 years (e.g. tourism business owner, national group tourism association director, local tour guiding association marketing officer, professional Blue Badge tourist guide, tourism lecturer at Newcastle College and more).

Successfully running several UK inbound tourism businesses (both aimed at B2B & B2C) and having a wealth of experience & knowledge on both tourism & design fronts, I have begun to combine these more intrinsically to create a niche for tourism companies looking to expand into the digital world and wishing to create an efficient strategy to combine their brand with the right tech to build authority in their field.

We look forward to hearing from you and can't wait to work with you.
