Sustainable tourism destination: the role of the DMO and the use of a DMS
DMOs (Destination Management Organizations) today face the challenge of leading responsible tourism management. In a world where natural resources are rapidly depleting, it is crucial to adopt strategies that turn a territory into a sustainable tourism destination.
According to the World Commission on Environment and Development, sustainable development is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Why is it important?
Responsible tourism not only preserves nature but also protects culture and improves local quality of life. That is why a modern DMO must implement a DMS (Destination Management System) that allows tourism to be organized, monitored, and promoted in a centralized and sustainable way.
Manage natural and energy resources effectively.
Preserve the sociocultural authenticity of the destination.
Promote sustainable economic activities.
Promote an eco-friendly lifestyle and responsible consumption.
Today’s tourist is more connected, more informed, and more aware. They want to explore but also to respect. Therefore, DMOs must act as leaders of change, using digital technologies and inclusive strategies to guide the destination toward a more sustainable and smart model.
