Destination marketing has been, is and will continue changing in coming years. Where the Meetings Industry is concerned, new attendees are a constant, urging Industry members to adapt their events in terms of attractiveness and choice. Thus, many Destinations Marketing Organisations (DMOs) have changed the way in which they operate to acclimate to a changing environment. Marketing itself is not enough anymore, now it is all about business, management, development and attracting citizens and students.
