24.6 Master Planned Beach Resort Destination Checklist – Part 6 – Destination Management

This subject check list covers the fifth of the 5 main subjects from the Master Check List - Components of the Ideal Master Planned Beach Resort Destination.  These subject check lists are by no means comprehensive, but more like a shopping list with brief explanations as reminders.  This check list series actually goes hand in hand with an earlier series I posted on Integrated Master Planning for Destination Development.  This check list would actually be similar to some of the outlines for the phase of Operations Management as well as the overall Integrated Master Planning methodology (see diagram below).    
Physical planning making highest and best use and synergy among the parts.

The Destination Management Team is in fact the body or team that has to Orchestrate the Integrated Master Planning of the Destination.  Of course it has a key role in the concept and vision of the destination, but equally important it has a long term role in the day to day operations of the destination.  Much of this day to day operations will be behind the scenes and out of sight of the general public, but having everything run smoothly without notice will mean the Destination Management team is on top of things doing their job.
