Discoveries
We believe in learning by doing. We do a lot and so we have a lot to learn! These articles, thought pieces, diaries and news items will keep you up to date with what we are learning that we would like to share with you.

Do we give tourists a warm welcome? Warm welcomes work!
Our ability to develop creative, innovative and appropriate methodologies for different target groups has led us to respond to an expressed need for tourism readiness training, which lifts people to a tourism oriented mindset. This led to Wings of Welcome...
Best for Business
Posing a range of dilemmas that people need to solve creates a very effective learning environment. One of the fundamental dilemmas is consuming working capital as if it were a wage. This has been solved through the discovery, learning and interactive methodologies of The Best Game and its consequent additional modules. Read More...
