The future of Tourist Information Centers
06 JulyThis year we launched a project titled ‘’Defining key performance indicators to measure the value of tourist information centers’’. The project explored value co-creation in the context of tourist information centers with attention to the economic, social and emotional value. Through a series of focus groups with members of the Knowledge Network of Dutch DMOs and ECM, the students gained valuable insights regarding the ways the economic, social and emotional value is currently measured, the barriers that hinder effective data collection and the opportunities for optimizing the currently used KPIs.
