Some tourism of the future perspectives are then advanced paving the way for the coverage of destination management and destination management organisations. Destination branding as well as an overview of challenges facing DMOs are covered next. The concept of “smart” tourism destinations is dissected next. Several topics are analysed such as, for example, cities as platforms for innovation. Finally, Tourism Destination Competitiveness is covered next as well as the measurement of destination performance.
