Birding & Birdwatching Tourism
Are you a birdwatching destination or business that needs help with promotion to drive more business? Contact Us at HDC and see how we can help!
Over the years HDC has been involved in developing and promoting a wide variety of important birdwatching destinations around the world. We have undertaken projects for NGO's, tour operators, resorts and guide outfits in The Gambia, Belize, South Africa, Canada, the USA and the UK.
 Birdwatching and "Birding" is a booming international business opportunity that attracts low volume, low impact and high return visitors that boost economies and support jobs in rural areas. Birdwatching remains one of western worlds leading recreational activities and with more accessible destination available and there has been a massive increase in the number of internationally itinerant birdwatching travelling the world in search of birds to tick off the "life" list.
