Tourism development has regulatory and promotional functions, which are typically divided between government departments and tourism organisations (both at local and/or national levels).
The private sector operates within the framework set by government agencies; however, it should be involved in both tourism regulation and promotion via sector associations in a participatory public-private dialogue.
TOURISMRESULTS can assist in the following:
- Review the existing institutional and organizational structures of the tourism sector, i.e. public sector organisations (incl. central and local level), private sector associations, NGOs and local community groups
- Institutional separation of tourism policy and tourism promotion
- Involvement of the private sector in a multi-stakeholder dialogue
