City Destinations Alliance
The alliance of Tourist Boards, Convention Bureaux and City Marketing Organisations in Europe
We are the knowledge sharing alliance for cities and urban regions. While working on the DNA of our cities, we are committed to a sustainable, inclusive and responsible visitor economy that benefits people, planet and prosperity.
We are much more than a network. We want to publicly advocate for our common goals while still learning from each other.
Our vision is for all cities in Europe to flourish as great places to live, work, meet and explore. As a community of DMO professionals, our promise to each other is to always be curious and forward-thinking, share our inspiration and never stop learning.

CityDNA & TOPOSOPHY Report
CityDNA and TOPOSOPHY released a ground-breaking report on the role of Place Making and Marketing Organizations (PMMOs) in shaping the future of European cities. As we navigate an increasingly complex world, the report argues that PMMOs have a crucial role to play in helping cities transition towards holistic place making and marketing, with a focus on people rather than place.
Data Space for Tourism
Preparatory Actions
Modul University, the European Travel Commission (ETC), City Destinations Alliance (CityDNA), and ForwardKeys have joined forces to set the foundation for the development of a secure and trusted Data Space for Tourism (DSFT).

"Summer School is about making new friends, new connections, new bonds and to get to know people with knowledge in the industry,... the faculty of experts. It’s really focusing on the meetings industry and everything around it: How it is built, how does it work, what to know, what to look for, what to master, what are the shortcuts to the knowledge that is required to work in this industry."
