About Richard Martin

Richard Martin BV is a strategic advisory firm dedicated to the leisure, recreation and tourism sector. We help regions, boards and entrepreneurs develop tourism ecosystems that do not merely grow, but deliver lasting value — for visitors, residents and the wider economy. Our approach is holistic: we connect strategy, structure, impact measurement and positioning into one coherent narrative.

The platform you are visiting is aimed at professionals in the leisure sector: directors, policymakers, project developers, investors and entrepreneurs making decisions about the future of recreation and tourism. We provide analyses, project leads, benchmarks and knowledge trips that are directly applicable in daily practice. In addition, we develop and manage a coherent ecosystem of specialised platforms — from trade media and labour market information to market intelligence — that help move the sector forward as a whole.

Richard Martin BV is led by Richard de Bruin, strategist and sector expert with years of experience in regional development and the leisure economy. Together with a team of specialists, he works on assignments across the Netherlands, Belgium and beyond. Our conviction is simple: good tourism does not happen by itself, it is organised.
