Parks & Attractions Experience
Over the past 25 years, David has developed an expertise in national parks and attractions development. Recognizing
that heritage, cultural and nature tourism is helping to reach the growing market interest in these products worldwide,
this sector presents special challenges to many jurisdictions because of inter-dependencies in the roles of the public
and private sectors.

Tourism parks and attractions experience includes park
legislation and planning for the Caribbean's first
self-financing national park - Nelson's Dockyard, and
attractions planning and development in the Cayman Islands,
St. Lucia, Grenada, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Oregon's
south coast, and several North America cities.
In Canada David has been involved in several attractions
projects including the recently constructed Squamish Lil'wat
Cultural Centre in Whistler and a variety of interpretive
centres and museums.
