The value of our brand
Brands represent businesses, the people who build them and the services they offer; but brands should also convey the quality of the work well done and the values we stand by.
Since 1992, dit has evolved and reinvented itself, striving to always stay a step ahead of its time. Our brand came along and adapted each time to communicate those qualities that set us apart from the rest. Our values remain: we work to provide the best value possible to our clients. We built our reputation on the grounds of honesty, reliability, creativity and trust.
The new scenario for tourism demands new approaches, thus our vision has evolved overtime. In 2012 we are launching our new brand, theglobaldit, made up by three components:
the: we utilise the article because it perfectly coveys our philosophy of work: "one project at a time". We do not develop generic products. Each project deserves personalised attention and is individually conceived and executed.
global: we rescued "global" from our web domain. It was initially there because we provide a comprehensive range of services. Today, it reinforces our compromise with our international expansion.
dit: obviously the company should still be a part of the brand... In Spanish, dit is the acronym for Tourism Development and Innovation. We are experts in tourism. Just tourism.
Where we are going
We always planned how we wanted to be and how we wanted to evolve.
We are living exciting times these days. The digital era is reshaping society and tourism has become a global, complex industry.
We are growing and expanding our markets, keeping an open perspective. We are consolidating collaborative relationships with the best professionals from the sector and from other disciplines, collecting expertise to generate added value for our clientes. Because our goal is to become a firm of reference for the sector, internationally.
The story
...we are still growing. We always felt drawn towards the most strategic aspects of tourism. We started out with FUTURES, the first competitiveness plan for Spanish tourism. We have since walked alongside Spain in its transformation into a global leader in tourism, both in terms of results and knowledge. But we also explored wider horizons and our focus adapted to the reality of the American continent.
Where we come from, very briefly. dit was founded in 1992. For the last 20 years the small firm has grown to become in one of the leading advisory firms in Spain and Latin America. We always looked beyond the borders. In 1994 we landed in Colombia when the country was not yet the modern Colombia it is today, and the coffee plantations were just beginning to open to tourism. In 1999 we arrived in Morelia, a World Heritage Site in the Mexican Bajío, at the time when the city took the step to transform its cobbled streets into the best known cultural destination in the country. That was the start of our Mexican sister company, idt, now an expert firm with 110+ projects on its back.
Today idt works across the country in colonial cities, beaches and jungles, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Sea of Cortez. Mexico has been a second home, a great country which has taught us so much. But besides Mexico, we have also worked in Uruguay, Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador and, quite intensely in 2012, Argentina, a country which has taken us to the very end of the world, and where we continue to grow.
Today, in the second decade of the 21st century, we continue to develop new skills and explore new products to provide even greater value to our clients. Because both them and ourselves want to be a part of the industry (r)evolution taking place nowadays.

With our clients. At the destinations. On the web.
Our teams fly and navigate. They fly, because tourism are real experiences, real businesses and busy government agencies, and our job is to be there, on site, with our clients. They navigate, because we use the Web to manage, to communicate, to maintain conversation, to provoke and to measure results.

Tono Franco
General Director & Partner
{ strategy }
Ideation
Tono is an expert in tourism policy, and gets particularly involved in promoting leadership within organisations, building future scenarios based on consensus and effective public action.
Collaboration
Creating work environments conducive to success is Tono's specialty. For example, the Don Vasco Route - one of our dearest projects for its social projection and universal values - was conceived as a tourism product which could contribute
to the social and economic development of participating Purepecha communities. Introducing tourism as an option for development was not easy under the given circumstances - impact on communities must be measured. To launch the Route, Tono led the SECTUR Michoacan into a co-ordination model involving every institution involved, at all levels. Beyond co-ordination, stakeholders had to assimilate the Route as their own. The model has produced excellent results.
Transformation
No transformation is possible without the involvement of the sector. Tono has participated in every large-scale tourism planning programmes in Spain, and for the last years also in Mexico. In both countries he has led over 500 competitiveness projects for the sector such us the Quality Clubs, with extraordinary results. An engaging communicator, he can motivate and move the most challenging audiences. Sharing his expertise is one of his passions, thus he has trained 8.000+ professionals.
About Tono
Tono is leadership, thrust and passion. He possesses an innate ability to negotiate and reach consensus, maintaining - and demanding - an ethical compromise with everything he does.
Passionate about food, he takes on a pilgrimage to culinary temples whenever he gets the chance. An excellent host, his cellar always produces bottles of some legendary champagne to treat his guests.
Tono earned his degree in Economics and Business Administration at the University of Valencia, and is specialised in planning and growth. He is a member of the Spanish Association for Strategic Planning (AESPLAN), and the Foundation for Ethics in Businesses and Organisations (ETNOR).
John Mora
Executive Director & Partner
{ motion }
Ideation
John is quite a visual person. He draws when he is thinking. He illustrates his explanations. The creative process for a new project turns the walls of his office, one after the other, into giant boards where ideas take shape as they are discussed, discarded or developed. Even the windows end up all scribbled up. He takes notes on his trusted companion the Moleskine notebook. His collection of old notebooks resembles some sort of theglobaldit diaries, the annotated memory of years of work.
Collaboration
John finds best the best co-working formulas and adapts them to each scenario. As an expert in developing innovative perspectives to the design of public policies, he pioneered the use of technology to improve the efficiency of public action, to integrate high performance teams in public agencies, to create business networks and, of course, to communication and conversation with markets.
Transformation
John's enthusiasm about the enormous possibilities Internet offers to the tourism sector is contagious, and he channels it throughout transformation projects to the client's benefit. He combines his drive with the ability to induce confidence in results, supported by a long record of designing and implementing the programmes which have made Spain a destination of reference in the world - he was one of the architects of the Spanish Tourism Quality System. John is an expert on transformation scenarios, and
has impacted 1.000+ tourism SMEs and 50.000+ workers throughout his career.
About John
John is our innovation leader, keeping the teams in a permanent stage of evolution, always striving to go one step beyond...
British by birth and Latin in spirit, he's likely to be found taking a stroll with his daughter on his brand-new Brompton bike - complete with a Brooks seat, what else-, or cooking some ellaborate recipe for his friends.
John holds a degree in Business Administration by the Business School of the Instituto Social Empresarial. He is a global member of the Internet Society, and a member of the Spanish Association for Standardization and Normalization (AENOR), the American Society for Quality Control (ASQ) and the Spanish Association for Strategic Planning (AESPLAN). In his (scarce) free time he is a guest professor at graduate programs at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia.

Laura Fandos
Director of strategy
{ value }
Ideation
Laura takes our premise of customizing each project to the limit. As an analyst, she documents her work thoroughly, yet defends that you can only understand a destination and design product when you experience it yourself. Her expert eyes cover the destination until she finds the distinctive value on which to project the future.
Collaboration
Securing support for any project from the sector and the institutions
involved can only be achieved by promoting their involvement from the project's inception. Laura holds true marathons of meetings with all stakeholders. She collects opinions, takes note of sensible issues, bounces off ideas and takes everything learned into her projects. The result: our clients' leadership is reinforced thanks to the alignment of perspectives under one shared vision.
Transformation
Laura utilizes creative models for the development of mature and emerging destinations. Her experience as a planner provides uncommon strategic insights to the development of tourism product, combining in one equation tourism intelligence, market analysis, a deep understanding of the value chain, and marketing strategies.
And she will not stop until she can produce a vision where all pieces fit.
About Laura
Laura defends the value of all work delivered to the client, in the sense that all documents must be written so they will be understood, adopted and communicated. She has the ability to work with language to express concepts in the right words and make the complex understandable.

Avid reader and fond of music, there is a soundtrack for every project...

Javier de Lucas
Creative Director
{ design }
Ideation
Javier is an expert craftsman of images. He enjoys designing the most precious graphic materials to dress any proposal with details: a Website, a map or a luxury guide. The visual value he adds to any project delivered to our clients sets the difference we pursue as our trademark at theglobaldit.
Collaboration
Listening is a most important part of his work, for design must adapt to the audience it is targeting. Javier tunes in the values the client seeks to communicate and finds ways to convey these qualities in his designs. He never forgets his job is to create awe.
Transformation
Javier is specialised in the field of tourism communication and branding, where today it is not enough to capture your market: you need to create it. Since 1995 his job is to connect the image of a destination or the launching of a tourism product to the feeling of the market, creating irresistible concepts, generating intense reactions, and sparking the desire to participate in the experience. In a market saturated with messages, this is his daily challenge.
About Javier
Javier is our connection to the latest in editing, the cult to design and the trendiest. An avid designer, always with his notebooks and pencils at hand to capture in paper a moment of inspiration. Today he shares an interest for digital creation -like great artists such as David Hockney- and is using his New iPad, with his brushes and Paper53, to continue searching in his imagination.
