Expertise
OC Global has been a pioneer in tourism planning since it participated in the World Bank-financed Bali Tourism Development Project in 1972. We were the first Japanese consulting firm to take part in an international tourism project. In this landmark project we planned and developed the Nusa Dua beach resort complex, which is now a world-class tourism destination. Since then, OC Global has successfully completed more than 40 tourism projects in various locations of the world.
Design and construction management of accommodations and visitor facilities such as ecolodges, museums, and visitor centers, have been our traditional strength. OC Global also offers services for preparing national and regional master plans, tourism promotion plans, as well as market surveys that provide the basis for the above-mentioned planning activities. Such activities including questionnaires at airports and international borders and group interview surveys to obtain information on the qualitative aspects of tourism markets.
OC Global excels not only in its capability to provide a wide range of services for tourism development, but also in its innovativeness in its approach to tourism planning. Focus has been placed in recent years on developing nature tourism and community-based tourism, in which tourism plays crucial roles in environmental conservation, cultural revitalization, and social development.
