The leadership, coordination and management of the specialized consulting services are executed, from the central office in São Paulo, by our board of directors, which is composed by:

Doris van de Meene Ruschmann
Jens Cristiano Ruschmann

• Board of Consultants - Our Board of Consultants, which is formed by approximately thirty professionals graduated and post-graduated in the best universities of the country and abroad in the tourism, environmental sciences, economy, engineering, sociology, culture areas, among others, is mobilized according to the nature of each project.
The engagement with tourism, hotel and leisure of the company’s leader and professional in charge - Doris van de Meene Ruschmann - was triggered in the end of 1970, when she graduated, and was reinforced later with extensive studies in the post-graduation course in Marketing, and the Ph.D. in Sustainable Tourism Planning in the University of São Paulo, as well as the large experience gained as a professor in the same institution, being responsible for the Tourism Planning discipline.
This start was progressively consolidated by specialization and national and international recognition of the works developed, which led to an increasing demand for specialized consulting services. All this motivated us to found, in March 1996, a consulting company - Ruschmann Consulting - specialized in planning, marketing, management and Human Resources development, having its starting point in the association with the best professionals of the area.
As a company dedicated to rendering specialized professional technical consulting services in tourism, hotel and leisure areas, Ruschmann Consulting aims at responding to the strategic needs of its Clients, by focusing on the development of contributions, results and specific knowledge to be proposed by its team.
Our team of consultants is composed by professionals with large experience in the segment, all of them graduated and post-graduated in the best universities of the country and abroad, in the tourism, environmental sciences, economy, engineering, sociology and culture areas, directly or indirectly related to the tourism activity and correlates.
As a result, we are qualified to propose a wide range of services, all of which carried out by our direct collaborators, who interact with the international strategic set of alliances, formed by renowned consultants, all of them highly specialized, that work as active partners in the decision-making of concepts, elaboration and analysis of projects.
Among the range of services we offer, we should mention the following ones:
• Development of Tourism Plans;
• Development of Marketing Plans and Actions;
• Development of Projects and Management Programs;
• Training and Recycling Programs.
Ruschmann Consulting currently counts on an integral strategic alliance established with IPK, one of the most renowned, experienced and pro-active companies in the international tourism marketing.
IPK Group, with over thirty years experience in the development of consulting services for the international tourism, comprises: IPK International; World Tourism Markting Consultants GmbH, Munich; and IPK International - World Travel Monitor Company Ltda., Dublin.
It has successfully accomplished more than 1.000 tourism projects, and has currently more than 70 clients a year in 20 countries, which receive its advice.
Among the reasons for this success, the fact that it owns the best world tourism data bank stands out, as well as the fact that it has advanced technology with remarkable professional knowledge and one of the most creative and innovative marketing team in Europe. Its internationalism, which started in the 70’s, is constituted by partnership agreements and continuous business relationship with leading tourism institutions and consultants in 42 countries in Europe, Asia and Americas.
IPK International is a transnational initiative with members from Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Spain, the United States, Finland, France, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Norway and Russia.

World Travel Monitor is coordinated in Dublin and puts in operation the biggest continuous worldwide travel demand research, gathering experience and a data bank for program development in 12 years of operations.

Mercosul Travel Monitor
