The DMSs gradually set up by both developed and developing countries demonstrate the importance of coordinating public policy and private initiatives and forming solid partnerships.

Tourism niches such as ecotourism one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism industry are increasingly promoted by DMOs in many developing countries, allowing them to diversify their tourism offer.
