Mr. Mac Nulty understood what the ACTP participants hoped to achieve through the mission and he was diligent in ensuring that the program was developed to meet the needs of the group and delivered by the ,industries leaders and experts.

Participants have indicated that as a result of the mission they will be applying ‘lessons learned’ in their own workplaces.”

 “South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, has been working with Tourism Development International (TDI) since 2005 on a succession of tourism projects.

 First, TDI oversaw and produced a major, statewide Tourism Action Plan. This comprehensive overview of the current status of tourism in South Carolina, which included detailed recommendations for its development and expansion. Secondly, TDI has begun, and is guiding, a process that will result in each region identified in the statewide action plan having produced its own individual tourism analysis and action plan.

TDI has been particular attentive to the special needs of these areas and we strongly recommend the company for their knowledge, experience and enthusiasm”
