Regional and local governments are crucial in tourism development, with governance guided by the principle of subsidiarity to address issues locally. These organisations must have the tools and resources to support tourism stakeholders effectively. Regional and local DMOs, due to their proximity, can coordinate preparedness and response efforts, implement policies, and offer targeted support to local businesses. They foster collaboration and provide quick responses during crises through strong relationships with stakeholders. Their accessibility promotes inclusivity and enables effective, participatory problem-solving.
