Helping visitors to be a good guest and respect the locals benefits not only the travelers, but residents as well. Destination marketing and management organizations (DMOs) can help visitors engage with local culture and share authentic experiences while ensuring that visitors appreciate cultural boundaries. In fact, explaining the local customs and traditions can help visitors avoid embarrassing situations, improving the visitor experience for guests and hosts.
In some places, DMOs share Indigenous peoples’ wisdom with visitors, helping them appreciate the destination’s culture.
