ABOUT WATG

WATG is the world's preeminent destination and hospitality design firm. We are employee-owned, almost 80 years young, and home to over 500 creative, globe-trotting professionals located remotely and in our offices in Atlantic City, California, Dallas, New York, Honolulu, London, Singapore, and Shanghai.
