The distribution of tourism responsibilities varies across EU countries, depending on factors like government structure and economic priorities. National Tourism Organisations (NTOs) or Regional Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) with both operational and promotional roles are best positioned to build resilience and crisis preparedness. These organisations are more agile and efficient, allowing them to guide policy-making and ensure effective implementation. Their broad mandate enables comprehensive long-term strategies and eases coordination with a single contact point. Ensuring these organisations have strong mandates is key for effective tourism management and crisis preparedness.
