GDS-Movement envisions thriving places and communities activated by regenerative tourism and events. Our mission is to empower people with the mindsets, skill sets, and toolsets to create regenerative destinations to visit, meet, and live in. The GDS-Movement serves to accelerate the transformation from destination marketing at whatever cost, towards destination management and stewardship with shared value. Its mission is to promote and develop the regenerative strategies, skill sets and mindsets that will support destinations of the future. The GDS-Movement evolved from the Global Destination Sustainability Index, the world’s leading sustainability benchmarking and performance improvement programme for destinations and their visitor economy. The GDS-Index was inspired by the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) Scandinavian chapter and MCI, where 15 pioneering cities created the Scandinavian Destination Sustainability Index. It has since evolved into a collaborative partnership between ICCA, IMEX Exhibitions, City Destinations Alliance (CityDNA), MCI Group and GUBI consulting. The core pillars of the GDS-Movement include: 1. GDS-Index 2. GDS-Academy 3. GDS-Forum 4. GDS-Consulting 5. GDS-Research Read our social media privacy policy here: http://bit.ly/gds-policy
