Key Components of the IQM Destination Approach

Key Components of the IQM Destination Approach

We implement a 360-degree, data-informed approach that engages the entire destination: residents, tourism professionals (stakeholders), and guests. This integrated model allows us to understand perceptions, measure impact, and align strategies across all levels of the destination.
Our work focuses on these interconnected components:

  • Integrated Destination Management
    • A coordinated approach that connects all stakeholders, fosters strategic alignment, and supports continuous quality improvement at every level of the destination.
  • Reputation Management
    • Monitoring online reviews, analyzing guest satisfaction, and assessing how the destination is perceived in digital environments.
  • Standardization & Certification
    • Defining and implementing local quality standards based on tradition, authenticity, and internationally recognized benchmarks.
  • Education & Capacity Building
    • On-site trainings and tailored education programs for private accommodation providers, hotels, campsites, restaurants, and other tourism-related services.
  • Marketing & Visibility
    • Strengthening destination brand identity through unified storytelling, targeted campaigns, and strategic positioning in domestic and international markets.
  • Quality Certification
    • Recognition of excellence through structured evaluation processes and the annual IQM Quality Awards for outstanding performance.
  • Sustainability Monitoring
    • Measuring the impact of tourism using clear indicators aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with optional participation in programs like Biosphere certification.
  • IQM Pass – Welcome Card
    • A locally adapted welcome card that connects visitors with the best the destination has to offer – promoting local businesses, sustainability, and guest satisfaction.
  • Tourism Product Development
    • Identifying, designing and improving destination-specific tourism products that reflect local identity, address market trends, and enhance the overall guest experience.

The project consists of several phases of implementation:

– Informing about responsible tourism and sustainable development

– Measuring first indicators; how satisfied the locals are with tourism in the destination; measuring the online reputation; measuring the satisfaction of stakeholders (professionals in tourism) with the tourism in the destination; measurements and plans that the local authorities have for projects important for the destination

– Involving stakeholders in the destination (private accommodation owners, hotels, catering facilities (bars and restaurants), wellness centres, campsites, tourist agencies, shops and souvenir shops, taxis, car parking services, utility companies, attractions in the destination)

– The standards are set in the destination, involving local products, tradition, quality, and tourism trends

– If the destination wishes so, it is possible to set a standard according to the world sustainable development standards; Biosphere – it is also possible to certify an individual stakeholder

– Sustainable and responsible tourism indicator is recommended for measuring (a member of the IQM Destination team is a part of the expert group UNWTO for sustainable development)

– Marketing analysis of individual stakeholders within a destination and a thorough analysis of the destination and detecting challenges

– Product development

– Educating in tourism for private accommodation owners

– Educating about the trends in the hotel industry

– Implementing the Welcome card – IQM Pass

– Making of the study of the destination integral management

– Scientific research to prove the efficiency of implementing the IQM Destination in the destination (contract with the Faculty of Economics in Zagreb)

On average, the project is carried out within a period of 3 to 5 years, including the education of employees to continue implementing the integral management of quality.
