Inhaltsangabe

Travellers are now spoilt by choice of available holiday destinations. In today's crowded tourism market place, destination competitiveness demands an effective marketing organisation. Two themes underpin Destination Marketing Organisations. The first is the challenges associated with promoting multi-attributed destinations in dynamic and heterogeneous markets, and the second is the divide between tourism 'practitioners' and academics. Written by a former 'practitioner', Destination Marketing Organisations bridges industry and theory by synthesising a wealth of academic literature of practical value to DMOs.

Key learning outcomes are to enhance understanding of the fundamental issues relating to:


The rationale for the establishment of DMOs

The structure, roles, goals and functions of DMOs

The key opportunities, challenges and constraints facing DMOs

The complexities of marketing destinations as tourism brands
