The 3rd transnational project meeting of the project DEMINA – Innovation and continuing education in destination management, managed by The Institute of Hospitality Management and Economics Prague and implemented by a consortium of seven organizations from six countries with the financial support of the European Union under the Erasmus+ Program, took place on March 7-8 .2022 in Riga, Latvia. Due to the ongoing pandemic measures in some partner countries, the meeting took place partly in person and partly online, as some partners did not have the opportunity to participate in person.
The partnership discussed the current status of the implementation of the first project output IO1 and evaluated the materials created so far. It also focused on the ongoing implementation of the IO2 project output, which contains an educational program and educational methodology for the field of Destination Management and Audit. After discussing the ongoing implementation activities, the partners agreed on the next implementation procedure for the creation of both educational outputs. Of course, the program also included a presentation of the necessary steps and documentation related to the financial management of the project, publicity and reporting. The program also included a discussion organized by the Latvian partner with representatives of the public administration and other stakeholders at the town hall in Riga.
The date of the next project meeting was set for the end of June 2022, the meeting will take place at the headquarters of the Croatian partner, and an important part of it will be a focus group with selected stakeholders in Croatian tourism, which will help verify the methodological materials and outputs of the project.
