Our Team
The destination experience of our two principals, John Kelsh and Mary Klugherz is difficult to match. Throughout their focused careers they have assisted scores of great destinations both large and small, distant and nearby. Both are cross-trained in the essential disciplines for place-making: market research, branding, urban planning, resort development, and strategic marketing. GDS offers between the two, over 60 years of learning in destination tourism dynamics.

GDS has teamed up with talented, creative experts in visual communications to provide our clients with stunning logos, compelling graphics, wayfinding signage and memorable slogans that effectively communicate your destination's brand.
