"The first time I met May, I had two feelings: trust and friendship.
This is especially important when you work in a foreign country, where you always have a sense of vulnerability
The professional experience of working with May in a project for the IDB, let me confirm that my first impressions were true. The work of May Hinds Consulting was absolutely professional and I Know I have a good partner and loyal colleague in Barbados."

“It was a real pleasure working with you on the CTC – 20 project. My own observation and that of other members of the News Department who worked with you, was that we got much more out  of the exercise that we could ever imagine. You brought a sound knowledge of the personalities and issues involved in local and regional tourism, and got them to share their views with our audience in “Brass Tacks”, “Point and Issue”, and the special reports from the Convention Centre. We are highly appreciative of your efforts and the boost it gave our coverage.”

Her drive and vivacious personality shine through the delivery of her programmes producing results from participants unmatched by many in her field. Her ability to communicate at any level and to inspire commitment from others is matched only by the wealth of experience she brings to her work. I consider it a privilege to have worked with and learnt with and learnt from May Hinds on both BHTA and other tourism industry projects.”

“Dear Ms. Hinds
This is to thank you for the presentation which you made to the students of F30N – French for Tourism  - on the 10th of March. Well researched, supported by the wealth of helpful documents and delivered with clarity in a most engaging manner, it shed much light on local and  regional tourism, giving to the course a dimension it could not have without the contribution of somebody close to the industry...”
