A destination is not a collection of hotels.
It is a system of values, relationships, infrastructure, culture, and vision.

Who is a Destination Development Specialist?
The tourism sector is changing rapidly. Today’s destinations require professionals who can go beyond traditional tourism management and contribute to the long-term development of places, communities and local economies.
