TRUE engagement of your stakeholder community is critical to pulling together during challenging times and staying ahead of our fast-paced consumers' wants, needs, and expectations. Learn how destinations are building coalitions and consensus toward seeing stakeholders as one big team and the destination as their 'shared product' that they strengthen together ─ strategically aligning the community to strengthen their Visitor Economy ─ from the shopkeeper to the Mayor.   

Takeaways:

1. How are destinations breaking down silos to achieve true cross-sector collaboration to strengthen their product infrastructure through their people infrastructure?
2. What standards and best practices are being used to determine if the destination has 'moved the needle' toward a positive brand experience for its visitors? For return and recommend intentions?

In recent years, there has been a gradual but marked shift away from marketing destinations to actively managing them, with the primary goal of enhancing the traveler experience. But if we look closely, too often this focuses on the consumer-traveler mindset. It’s time to upgrade our systemic thinking too, and to think in terms of destination stewardship. Attendees will learn why destination stewardship is an essential role for any destination organization, and how leading DOs are already stepping into this space.

The term “placemaking” is often used in the conversation around destination development, yet few destination organizations have a clear understanding of what it entails and how it can be implemented. During this webinar attendees will learn what placemaking is, the various types of placemaking and how destinations can utilize placemaking to attract visitors, residents and additional funding.
