Destination Makers

We create "Happy Destinations" :) Destination Makers provides strategic and operational support to develop community tourism, sustainable travel experiences and social impact projects in niche and less developed destinations. We love to work closely with local communities to design truly sustainable experiences and projects with a real social impact and we support our destinations with practical solutions to implement projects successfully and provide seamless advice and motivation. We provide a full range of services ranging from co-designed destination strategy, research, branding and marketing, experience design workshops and training, advocacy and community building, start-up of DMC/DMO and tailor-made destination projects also by creating European networks and cooperation programmes. We have undertaken projects in Italy and Europe, proudly working for clients such as the European Institute of Cultural Routes (Council of Europe), the Italian Association of Parks and Natural Reserves (Federparchi), more than 10 Italian Chambers of Commerce, Italian Rural Development Agencies, and our projects have successfully been awarded and co-funded by the EASME Agency (European Commission), the Italian Association of Municipalities (ANCI), the International Cooperation and Development Fund (European Commission), and more.
