Handcrafted outdoor furniture with over 20 years of DEDON experience. As a manufacturer of exclusive outdoor furniture, DEDON is one of the worlds leading providers in this industry and has received numerous international design awards. The company, which was founded in 1990 by the former professional soccer player Bobby Dekeyser, revolutionized the outdoor furniture market with its groundbreaking designs within only a few years. The basis for DEDONs success is a highly durable synthetic fiber manufactured at the headquarters in the North of Germany. Developed over 20 years ago, the unique DEDON fiber still is considered "the original" in the industry; the "Made by DEDON" seal stands for the highest standards of quality and design. DEDON furniture is designed by international designers, matches German quality standards in terms of production, and is manufactured by hand in a traditional fashion by braiding artisans on the island of Cebu in the Philippines. Every piece of DEDON furniture embodies the combination of modern technology and century-old craftsmanship.

DESTINATION DEVELOPMENT Understanding what exists in your destination is important. Knowledge of your cannabis and hemp-related assets directly informs the strategy and program architecture. I engage and educate stakeholders, assess the destination, and develop a bespoke cannabis travel strategy and program that fosters long term success. The strategy may or may not include B2C product development i.e. trail, passport, newsletter. DESTINATION MARKETING The data shows that the cannabis-motivated active leisure travel audience is a high value audience that stays longer and spends more while in a destination. Through a dedicated cannabis travel program, I work with stakeholders to facilitate a steady flow of cannabis and hemp-related content that elevates the cannabis experience story in a sophisticated and brand aligned way. I advise DMOs on B2B and B2C content and marketing strategies. HOTEL SOLUTIONS Hotels are the heart of the travel ecosystem of a destination. Hotels greatly influence the overall experience for visitors. With a focus on guest experience, room nights, and turn-key incremental revenue opportunities, I help hotels understand, prepare for, and serve the cannabis and hemp CBD-interested hotel guest. Solutions include hospitality education, frontline staff support, and revenue generating opportunities in lobby, spa, and in-room.
