Community and Collaboration is one of the four critical trends that is impacting destination marketing today.
Today’s destinations need to ensure that these elements are a part of their strategy, if they’re not already: seeking new ways to co-ordinate the destination experience; partnering with traditional members of the tourism industry to establish new sources of revenue or to market collaboratively, creatively and efficiently; improving relationships with Trade and Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events (MICE) groups; and reaching out to non-traditional partners or sector niches in order to work collectively.
