FOCUS ON CORE ISSUES IN DESTINATION TOURISM

February 7, 2024

Online Survey Leads to Seven Thematic Areas
for the DSTNCMP²⁴

For the past 14 years, tourism professionals and experts have been addressing the most pressing issues in destination tourism in the German-speaking world at theannual DestinationCamp(DSTNCMP). Since 2011, the topics have been prioritized in advance through an online survey.

For the DSTNCMP²⁴ in Bregenz from May 21 to 24: It focuses on seven thematic strands with a total of 28 sessions, all taking place at the Festspielhaus on Lake Constance. In addition, there will be four AKADEMIE presentations. These are less focused on participants’ questions and more on proposed solutions from partner companies.

As managing director of netzvitamine GmbH, Benjamin Buhl and his team also organize the DSTNCMP²⁴. He explains:

The topics are the result of a collaboration with the MCI Innsbruck School of Management. The school organized and analyzed the online survey in December 2023. Based on the results, we then defined the thematic areas together with our network partner, Projekt D.

This year’s program will feature sessions on “Digitalization with AI” and on creating value through “Sustainability and Environmental Management.” Regenerative organizational models, the implications of a potential shift to the right, and the labor market situation will shape the “Destination with a Future” theme.

Many of the approximately 275 expected participants are seeking solutions to the tension between “focus on the common good and experiential spaces,” while others are looking for solutions to “mobility and accessibility”—particularly in rural areas. The “Interregional and Innovative” track focuses on the opportunities presented by cross-border cooperation as well as innovative restaurant and hotel concepts, while the seventh track analyzes “Trendy Marketing Potential.”

The four sessions in each theme track are spread out over Wednesday and Thursday mornings. These are complemented by a variety of workation and leisure activities, as well as DestinationCamp’salmost legendary evening events.

To everyone who uses the DSTNCMP²⁴ with the netzvitamineABEND on Thursday, an innovative session awaits you on Friday morning at the data:room Vorarlberg: Representatives from various economic and scientific fields will contribute their perspectives and experiences to finding solutions for tourism-related challenges.
