Their knowledge of the market is invaluable. There is also a respect that I appreciate in their demeanor and understanding of indigenous issues. I will be seeking their services for another project and would highly recommend their expertise in moving forward in the Tourism Business.

Working with your team of professional and expert advisors has given us the confidence and assurance that we are considering all the relevant and significant factors and implications of our development. Without your help, we would be ill-equipped.

These people care about the service they provide, they care about the impact that their recommendations will have on a community, on a business, on the future of the people. They are also very respectful of the culture and working with the Elders and understand the challenges found in indigenous communities.

They were prompt, very accessible and thorough during and after the engagement. Legacy understands the tourism market very well, presents their findings clearly and has the requisite knowledge to easily be considered at the very top of subject matter experts in the country.
