Success Factors for Collaborative Destination Marketing

  • Chapter

Abstract

More and more European regions—see, for example, the cases of Catalonia in Spain (TC, 2013), Emilia Romagna in Italy (ATCER, 2013), and Wallonia/Brussels in Belgium (OPT, 2013)—have launched collaborative destination marketing initiatives to promote tourism in their territory. These initiatives encourage public and private actors to join their efforts and financial resources in the elaboration and implementation of tourism marketing activities and campaigns.
