| We are pleased to announce that the Sixth International Conference on Destination Branding and Marketing (DBM-VI) will take place in Macao in December 2018, where it all began. DBM-VI takes place as SIG host to the Third Conference of the International Place Branding Association (IPBA), a newly established global association of place, destination, and tourism branding practitioners, scholars, and researchers which the DBM community supports and forms part of. The DBM-VI website will be up shortly with news and details. In the meantime, pencil us in in your conference agenda for 2018 and join us for a fabulous and productive gathering on place branding, destination marketing, and tourism promotion, in one of the most exciting cities in Asia! - Don Dioko (IFT), Rich Harrill (USC), Nigel Morgan (Swansea), and the DBM Community | |
