Due to digitalization, the tasks of a DMO are changing. DMO once stood for Destination Marketing Organisation, but in recent years this has changed to Destination Management Organisation. If one looks at the now extensive importance of data for the work of a DMO, it becomes clear that the development is moving further towards a data management organisation.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the DMO must accept the tasks associated with this topic for itself and create the necessary conditions for it. But how can Open Data be introduced in an organisation? The individual steps are presented below.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The foundation of Open Data is people<\/h3><\/span>

The introduction of Open Data in your own company is not first and foremost about technology, but instead about people.<\/p>\n

The DMO must build up appropriate competencies in order to be able to face the new challenges. This includes background knowledge about Open Data: what Open Data means, how it works, what added value it offers the DMO, what impact the introduction of Open Data has on processes and budgets. The decision for Open Data is part of a change process in which existing thought patterns have to change – from “my data” to “data for all”. This requires openness, curiosity and trust. This must be exemplified. Only with leadership in digital topics can persuasion processes be effective.<\/p>\n

Openness and mutual trust are not only needed within one’s own team. It is also important to seek solidarity with other tourism organisations and to promote Open Data together with them – also across administrative borders.
\nA key focus in the implementation of Open Data is to bring the service providers along in the process, as much of the data is collected and maintained by them or created about them. Accordingly, it is necessary to prepare the topic of Open Data for different needs: for the own organisation as well as for different tourism partners. Training courses and personal coaching are just as important as explanatory videos or concrete checklists, such as those provided by the be made available in the course of the knowledge platform Open Data Germany.<\/p>\n<\/div>
