“…Tourism destinations' evolution and management offer a fertile context for studying coopetition (Kylanen & Mariani, 2012;Sonmez & Apostolopoulos, 2000), a strategy highlighted by Mariani et al (2014) for its contribution to the development and marketing of tourist destinations. As far as islands are concerned, given their condition of isolation from the mainland, and in many cases their proximity to other islands, this fact is even more pressing (Padilla & McElroy, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT:Tourism is the main industry in many islands around the world. Islands connect with each other and with mainland markets in a complex system of relations of competition and cooperation (coopetition). This article analyses islands' cooperation strategies through the management of brand architecture and how visits to one island can influence visits to others. This paper aims to provide island destination management organisations with information on how islands can effectively design their brand architecture-inside and outside their own archipelagos-depending on mainland markets. The study includes in its analysis some of the main tourist islands and archipelagos in the world (particularly the Canary Islands but also Cyprus, Malta, Balearic Islands, Maldives, Caribbean, Azores, Madeira, Cape Verde, and Greek islands), with a sample of 6,964 tourists from the main worldwide tourism market, Europe, and an analysis of 16 European markets.

“…Globalization in the travelling and business, development of information and communication technologies, the increase in the personal incomes in the favor of the touristic travelling brought about the intensification of the competition among the touristic destinations. In such conditions, touristic fields that are questioned, are the ways by which the destinations and the local population should utilize new and adequate ways to create new and unforgettable experiences, as well as preserving the identity of the area (Mariani et al, 2014). Dalonso et al, (2014) suggest the so-called "Intertwining model" that implies studies on the impact of events in the establishing public policies of destinations in which the manifestations are held, from the tourist's perspective.…”

Аbstract: Touristically speaking, the rural areas of Serbia are not fully researched, hence there exist viewpoints that say that by the development of manifestational tourism the touristic potential of such areas can be raised to the higher level and be better presented to the foreign touristic market. The result of the previously stated would be the increase of the touristic demand-scale, and an effect on the decrease of negative demographic processes and preventing migration of young people from rural to urban areas, as well. Touristic Manifestation "Guča Trumpet Festival" with over 55 years of tradition presents one of the most prominent domestic brands recognizable in the world touristic market. Methodological contribution of the paper consists of displaying the terrainresearch results carried out in 2015 and an overview of the interdependence of the main motives that attract foreign visitors to this manifestation and the local-people's demographic characteristics, with an intention of pointing out the suggestion for improving the rural area developmental conditions. Data analysis was carried out in the package program for statistical analysis and the data processing (SPSS 20.00) and was based on the population registry, granted from National Statistical Service of Republic of Serbia. The gathered data have shown that the studied manifestation can play a role in the revitalization of the Dragačevo area, primarily because it is interesting to foreign visitors and generally foreign visitors are interested in longer stays if the more significant touristic offer is rendered, including the touristic values in the vicinal regions.

“…Accessible tourism is an emerging issue that has only recently started drawing the attention of academics and practitioners (Mariani et al, 2014) and is of particular importance to urban destinations (Reding, 2013), as well as rural destinations that often lack the infrastructure in place to accommodate this growing market (Haven-Tang & Sedgley, 2014;Karou & Hull, 2014). It may well be argued that today competitive destinations also mean accessible destinations (Le-Klähn & Hall, 2014) and DMOs should be able to take the accessibility agenda forward in order to address the changing needs of current and prospective visitors, influence decision-making and improve the overall experience.…”

Destination management plans – a new approach to managing destinations in England: evidence from Milton Keynes

Within a new political and economic context, Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) across England are expected to facilitate a more holistic and inclusive approach to destination management and provide core leadership functions, rather than being solely responsible for the marketing and development of destinations. Destination Management Plans (DMPs) are an expression of a government-mandated, current policy-driven approach to guiding the work of private-led DMOs. These DMOs are being challenged to achieve a more sustainable level of performance in times of decreasing state funding. Building on the scarce literature surrounding this new approach to managing destinations, this paper looks into how an emerging destination has approached the development of such a plan in practice. The paper examines the case of Milton Keynes and its local destination management structure, the collaborative approach to policy development and the resultant DMP. The paper concludes by discussing the importance of the key aims of the plan and their relevance to comparable emerging destinations, which are developing DMPs.
