Over the past few years, our industry has made significant progress in elevating the relevancy of DMOs worldwide. Performance reporting has helped shape the way tourism bureaus report results to stakeholders, while branding has improved their positioning. With those two important initiatives as part of the fabric of our industry, DMAP—Destination Marketing Accreditation Program began.

The benchmarks set by this accreditation program will have an impact on every DMO – regardless of an individual DMO’s decision to apply for accreditation recognition.
