DSTNCMP²⁶: NEW UNDERSTANDING OF TOURISM SOUGHT

Tourism in German-speaking Europe is at a turning point. A paradigm shift is evident, and the first principles of a new understanding of tourism became clear at the 15th DestinationCamp in June in Düsseldorf. This can be impressively read in the newly published WERKSCHAU²⁵.

We need courage for value-oriented decisions. The scope of action for destination organizations continues to evolve. Tourism stakeholders are more challenged than ever to consistently and comprehensively involve stakeholders and locals in co-creative processes.

Every two years, the festival transforms the historic fountains and medieval facades of the cultural metropolis between Brenner and Bolzano into an open-air gallery with its art projections.
