Capability Mentoring
OUR APPROACH
tailored, one-on-one mentoring support
Every business, no matter the size, can do with a helping hand at some point in their business journey. The question is, where do you start? Business owners are so busy working IN their business that there never seems to be time to work ON it. This is where the DTM Team shine. In business mentoring, there’s theory and then there’s getting the job done. We’ve been tourism business owners for over 30 years; it’s our direct operational experience in tourism that benefits our clients.

Product operations
Resilience and relevance
Initiative to stand out from the crowd
