Join Destinations International and Tourism Economics for an in-depth discussion on the Destination Promotion: A Catalyst for Community Vitality report, originally released in 2024. We’ll reflect on its impacts across the global destination community and the increasing recognition of destination promotion as a catalyst for community well-being, economic advancement, and shared prosperity. Gain insight on how the report is leveraged to strengthen advocacy, communicate value to stakeholders, and integrate research findings into broader community and economic development strategies. You'll walk away understanding the opportunities for regions, states, and provinces to partner in adapting the framework to local contexts and priorities.

resented by Tourism Economics as part of Destinations International's Advocacy Tools Series.
