HOT OFF THE PRESS: Our latest industry brief, "A Catalyst for Community Vitality: Defining the 21st Century Destination Organization". If you've ever wondered how destination organizations came to be and what it takes for them to thrive, this industry brief is worth the read. “If you build a place where people want to visit, you’ll build a place where people want to live. If you build a place where people want to live, you’ll build a place where people want to work. If you build a place where people want to work, you’ll build a place where business wants to be. And, if you build a place where business wants to be, we’ll be back to building a place where people want to visit. It all starts with the visit and that visit doesn’t happen without us.” This quote from former DI Board Chair Maura Gast, FCDME helped shape the definition of a destination organization as we know it today.
