19. CONCLUSIONS
• The hypothesis of the research was linked to the communication
styles and geographical differences among global destination
marketing organisations.
• The results show that 75% of them have different approach
and different attitude. In addition, more than 50% assume
that their style is good and well-prepared.
• Finally, less that 30% of all DMOs are interested in changing
anything in their cross-cultural and global approach.
21. • Certainly there is a need to improve the communication style but one
of the limitations that researchers can come accross is the rather
closed character of the discussed group.
• It is really difficult to conduct the research among hospitality
professionals because they stick together and are not willing to share
their opinions about the structures they belong to.
• The author has a plan to carry out a similar research among
members of other bodies focused on destination marketing, incentive
travel or congresses.
