The « Time for DMOcracy » initiative
Time for DMOcracy is a joint research project to explore and develop methods and models for participatory governance of European tourism destinations. This initiative was launched by the NAO Group, a Danish creative agency working for the evolution of tourism, culture and urban development. Destinations such as Bordeaux, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Brussels and Oslo are participating in this initiative. The aim is to respond to the need to involve and empower local communities, citizens and a wider set of stakeholders in the governance of sustainable tourism and destination development.
The result will be a white paper with recommendations for measuring resident sentiment, governance models and how to prototype them (the white paper is under preparation).
