During this webinar, in partnership with the U.S. Travel Association Destinations Council, Destination Marketing Association of Canada, ETOA and the GDS Movement, we looked at two major studies on the future of tourism taxes and other funding sources.
A few speakers presented this webinar:
- John Lambeth of Civitas,

- Peter Romer Hansen of Group NAO
- 4 panelists from European and American destinations: Caroline Strand, from Visit Stockholm, Michael Otremba from Hamburg Tourismus, Fred Dixon from NYC & Company and Jay Burress from Visit Anaheim
Two major studies on the future of tourism taxes and other funding sources have recently been completed and offer invaluable insights and recommendations for fresh thinking in tourism taxes and funding options for DMOs. “Funding Futures” was a major North American study that was completed in parallel with the comprehensive European study, “Taxing Tourism.” Both studies include an exhaustive analysis of current and potential new funding sources in addition to results from major surveys of more than 180 DMOs across North America and Europe.
