Spotted today (it nearly ran me over), a coach displaying the legend, "Kuoni Destination Management". I have to say, I'm impressed. It's a major improvement on the rather commonplace tourism. I'm way behind in just noticing this, mind:

Fundamental to the new structures coming from national and regional tourist bodies is the move to centralised ‘destination management organisations’ or DMOs which are supposed to bring together all the agencies and stakeholders in tourism.

Spectra's impressive track record in Destination Management demonstrates that we are highly experienced in organising prestigious incentive programmes and conferences.

The New Mind Destination Management System (DMS) provides all of the tourism technology necessary for destination management organisations and tourism SMEs to co-ordinate their business activities.

This module takes a macro level perspective on destinations (country, city, resort) and examines approaches to development and management. Key components of destinations are identified and related to overall strategic objectives. The modules examines destination planning and implementation with particular attention being paid to the challenges of integration both across a range of activities (marketing, HR, operations) and also between tourists and residents.

Have you ever considered a career in Destination Management?
