STRATEGIES
Steps for digital transformation in your organisation
Due to digitalisation, the tasks for tourism organisations are changing at all levels. Whereas the “M” in LMO and DMO used to stand for “marketing” in particular, this has changed to “management” in recent years.

In order to make this possible, some important prerequisites and processes must be addressed and implemented in the respective organisations.
