Destination Selection
Definition:
Destination selection is the practice of researching, evaluating and choosing the location for a meeting or event.
Scope:
APEX defines a destination as a city, area or country which can be marketed to groups or individuals as a place to visit or hold an event. Although destination selection may consider country, regional and city attributes, planners most often consider the capacity of a city and its metropolitan area to host their experience, rather than country or regional capacity .The practices considered in this category will therefore focus mainly on destination city attributes, as opposed to regional or country characteristics.
This category will identify sustainability criteria that should be included in destination selection by planners.
This category will also list best sustainable practices that can be adopted by destination professionals. Destination professionals may include destination marketing organizations (DMO’s or convention and visitor bureaus (CVB’s)), third party site-selection companies, destination management companies, chambers of commerce, economic development departments and local and regional transit authorities.
This category will include aspects of transportation as it relates to host cities. This includes the process of evaluating destinations on the basis of how close they are to attendees, as well as the availability of public transit.
We assume sustainability to include practices that reduce environmental impacts and provide positive benefits to destination cities
