About TSI
Tourism Support Intelligence
Tourism Support Intelligence (TSI) is a provincial-level coordination and support framework designed to strengthen the sustainable, resilient, and data-driven development of tourism ecosystems.
TSI acts as a strategic enabler, bringing together government authorities, tourism businesses, local communities, and digital platforms to address structural challenges in tourism development through coordinated programs, shared data, and practical implementation tools.
Why Tourism Support Intelligence?
Tourism destinations today face increasing pressure to balance economic growth, community livelihoods, environmental sustainability, and digital transformation. While many initiatives focus on promotion or technology adoption, fragmented efforts often limit long-term impact.
TSI was established to respond to this gap by providing:
- System-level coordination rather than isolated projects
- Practical support mechanisms instead of one-off interventions
- Evidence-based decision-making grounded in real operational data
Our Mission
TSI’s mission is to support tourism stakeholders in building internal capacity, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing competitiveness—while ensuring that tourism development remains inclusive, sustainable, and locally grounded.
We do not replace existing institutions or platforms.
Instead, TSI strengthens them by aligning strategies, programs, and data across the tourism ecosystem.
Our Vision
TSI envisions tourism ecosystems where:
- Local communities actively participate and benefit from tourism growth
- Tourism businesses operate efficiently, transparently, and competitively
- Destinations are managed based on reliable data and long-term planning
- Digital technologies serve as enablers—not barriers—to development
What TSI Does
TSI operates across three integrated dimensions:
1. Strategic Programs
We design and coordinate support programs tailored to:
- Tourism SMEs
- Community-based tourism initiatives
- Destination management organizations
- Provincial and local authorities
2. Ecosystem Coordination
TSI facilitates collaboration among:
- Government agencies
- Tourism enterprises
- Community stakeholders
- Digital platforms and technology partners
This coordination ensures that efforts are aligned, scalable, and measurable.
3. Data & Insights
Through integration with digital platforms, TSI enables:
- Collection of real operational data
- Monitoring of tourism performance and digital maturity
- Generation of insights to support policy and management decisions
How TSI Works
TSI functions as a neutral coordination layer rather than a commercial platform or regulatory body.
- Policies remain with government authorities
- Operations remain with businesses and communities
- Digital tools are provided by ecosystem platforms
- TSI connects these elements into a coherent system
This approach allows provinces to implement tourism support initiatives that are flexible, transparent, and results-oriented.
Our Approach
TSI is guided by the following principles:
- Local relevance – solutions are adapted to local contexts
- Practical implementation – focus on real-world application
- Data-driven governance – decisions supported by evidence
- Ecosystem thinking – value is created through collaboration
TSI at the Provincial Level
At the provincial level, TSI supports authorities by:
- Acting as a technical and strategic coordination mechanism
- Providing structured frameworks for pilot programs and scaling
- Supporting monitoring, evaluation, and reporting
- Facilitating engagement with national and international partners
