Editor's Notes
Two-thirds of American adult travelers say they included a cultural, arts, heritage, or historic activity or event while on a trip of 50 miles or more, one-way, in 2002. This equates to 92.7 million cultural travelers. Of this group, 32 percent (29.6 million travelers) added extra time to their trip because of a cultural, arts, heritage, or historic activity or event.
The Community Bookshelf is a striking feature of Kansas City's downtown. It runs along the south wall of the Central Library's parking garage on 10th Street between Wyandotte Street and Baltimore Avenue. The book spines, which measure approximately 25 feet by 9 feet, are made of signboard mylar. The shelf showcases 22 titles reflecting a wide variety of reading interests as suggested by Kansas City readers and then selected by The Kansas City Public Library Board of Trustees.

DMAI and Americans for the Arts (AFTA) established this award to reinforce the importance of a strong relationship between a community's DMO and its cultural-heritage and arts agencies. Synergy between these organizations plays a key role in a destination's brand by weaving a community's cultural-heritage story into its overall community message, effectively developing a truly distinctive locale.NEW ORLEANS, LA (22 July 2011) – Ventura, California and Miami, Florida have been selected as the winning destinations for the first ever Arts Destination Marketing Award for their innovative collaboration with local art agencies to market their communities as a travel destination. Selected from nearly 50 entrants, the two winning destinations were announced at the closing general session of DMAI’s 97th Annual Convention in New Orleans. The collaboration of the Ventura VCB and the City of Ventura-Office of Cultural Affairs enables the community to offer a wide range of cultural tourism offerings, including but not limited to, using local Ventura art in visitor promotion, grants funding marketing efforts for local arts organizations, and having a central ticketing office for arts and cultural events. The community also has a deep understanding of the unique economic impact that cultural and arts visitors can have on its destination, and has even completed a study on cultural/arts tourist behavior as compared to its overall visitor base. The Greater Miami CVB and Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs have built sustainable partnership that continues to build traction and engagement with its arts and cultural community. Through the “Buy One, Get One Free” admission and “Join One, See Them All” museum pass, engagement and visibility with Miami’s local community residents as well as its international visitors continues to grow.
