Abstract

This paper discusses perceptions of quality of the destination management functions within different tourism organizations and companies in three Slovene regions. The main objective is to identify current conditions, expectations and contradictions which might slow or even stop the process of the formation of regional tourism organizations thus establishing an integrated model of destination management (DM). Two hundred-forty businesses were included in the survey, representing over half of all tourism related businesses within the area. Major conclusions are that the perceived quality of DM functions is low; expectations go for a more integrated model of DM with some contradictions. The latter are more likely related to personal (i.e. micro) characteristics of the respondents, rather than organizational (macro) characteristics.
