Kudos From great friends.

"As The Cabarrus County Convention and Visitors Bureau needed to establish a new direction we reached out to Berkeley Young and his team at Young Strategies to guide us in the process. Since the Bureau had not done extensive research before Young Strategies used a turn-key approach. They created the methodology, prepared the surveys, collected the data and then made presentations to the Bureau staff, Board of Directors, and Bureau partners. Berkeley has an extensive knowledge of the travel industry and he completely understands the role of Destination Marketing Organizations. His work with Bureau's throughout the country has enabled him to share ideas with our team that will make us more effective going forward. We continue to work with Berkeley today as we try to find out more information about our visitors through an intercept survey program. In a time where ROI is closely monitored I would highly recommend Young Strategies. They will ensure that you are making good, solid, research based decisions for your destination."

"The Young Strategies team approached our project with a contagious enthusiasm that spread like wildfire through our team and our stakeholders," said Mary Smith, President of the Hershey Harrisburg Regional Visitors Bureau. "When we received the final in-depth competitive analysis of our region, it was clear we selected a firm with the experience to know what questions to ask and the tenacity to find the answers. From his style and tactics to his understanding of today's global travel industry – the bureau found Berkeley Young to be a consummate research professional and project partner. When it's time to conduct research again, we have Berkeley on speed dial."

President, Hershey Harrisburg Regional Visitors Bureau

"It has been my pleasure to have known Berkeley for the past eight years. Not only is he extremely proficient in the travel and tourism research industry, he is an absolutely wonderful workshop presenter. He has been the most requested speaker at the American Association of Retirement Communities annual conference each year. His expertise and presentation skills are unparalleled."

--Diana O'Toole, TMP, Program Manager, Hometown Mississippi Retirement

"As planner of an annual Tourism Education Conference, I consistently read in the surveys, "More Berkeley Young!". The attendees enjoy his humor, professionalism and style. He shows a genuine pleasure in helping the individual learn and understand the topic, spending time after class to explain if necessary. I would highly recommend Mr. Young to speak to any group or topic; I would encourage you to ask him. You will not be disapointed."

--Suzanne Moon, Dir. of Operations, SOutheast Tourism Society.
