Tourism destinations face unprecedented challenges and need to rethink tourism for better planet, people
and prosperity. Urged by these constraints and transforming the unparalleled COVID-19 crisis and its impact
in tourism destinations as an opportunity to build back better, Destination Management Organizations
(DMOs) are key in the pathway towards destinations’ resilience and long-term sustainability. The DMO is at
the centre of the destination and plays a key role in driving forward change.

To achieve this, a strengthened multi-governance approach is needed to prepare DMOs in their new role in the post COVID-19 era. UNWTO provides guidelines and recommendations which are published at [https://www.e-unwto.org/doi/book/10.18111/9789284420841] and updated yearly to destinations and is currently revising and updating its existing set of criteria and indicators to help DMOs face and adapt to new challenges. The aim is to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of destinations within a harmonious relationship between the residents and visitors
