Our Approach

Since its creation, MaHoC has ensured that it:

• Meets its customers' preoccupations by adopting global approaches and recommending methodologies adapted to the problems in the field;
• Accompanies and advises territorial stakeholders in the drawing up and implementation of their projects;
• Integrates new changes in society (behavioural, legislative, new technologies, European and international openness) into its strategic and prospective analyses;
• Encourages working in networks and participative and federative processes in order to optimise appropriation of the approaches leading to operational choices; 
• Integrates aspects of sustainable development into the management of projects and territorial strategies.

Tourism consultancy research requires good knowledge:

• Of the environment and the specific problems related to the skills of tourism stakeholders;
• Of the diifferent activities, their specific features, problems and challenges; changes in offer and demand;
• Of promotional, communication and sales techniques; techniques for mounting structural projects, etc.
• Of the personal skills and experiences acquired by MaHoC over many years which make it possible to meet this demand.    

Global and multidisciplinary approaches:

• A wish to have knowledge of all the facts and problems of a project (stakeholders, environment, identity, projects, etc.)
• A wish, if necessary, to work with other specialist firms or specialists and technicians on an ad hoc basis to ensure the relevance of the interventions and recommendations.

Methodologies adapted to the assignment’s problems and the project sponsor’s temporal and financial constraints

Participative and federative approaches:

• A wish to adopt participative approaches as much as possible and to meet in person the majority of the stakeholders involved.
• A wish to arrive at results validated by the stakeholders and to work in close collaboration with the Steering Committee throughout the duration of the assignment.

Qualitative and pragmatic approaches:

• A wish to adopt approaches which are more qualitative than quantitative.
• A wish to arrive at operational and concrete results.

Durable approaches:

• A wish to recommend progressive and realistic action plans.
• A wish to recommend as far as possible and depending on the budget, methods for implementing, monitoring and evaluating the actions set up.

Confidentiality of the work carried out and the results:

• MaHoC undertakes to respect the rules of ethics, neutrality, prudence and discretion.
• MaHoC undertakes to inform the project’s sponsors about any articles which MaHoC or its representatives may be required to publish.
