Romão, João, Mayumi Okada, Kazuo Machino, and Peter Nijkamp. "Destination Management and Sustainable Development through the Common Lens of the Commons". REGION. February 09, 2021. https://openjournals.wu.ac.at/...

Local destination management organization (DMO) involves a large participatory process for strategic planning and monitoring combined with decentralized operational planning and management.  This paper illustrates problems and obstacles for the creation of a local DMO promoting a tourism destination’s sustainable development.  It recommends the active participation of local stakeholders in the processes of planning, managing and monitoring tourism activities and the use of common pool resources (CPR).  It advocates the integration of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and broad participatory processes involving local stakeholders to address the challenges raised by contemporary tourism dynamics and their implications for local resources and communities.
