The government has published its formal response to the Independent Review of Destination Management Organisations (DMOs), which was undertaken by Nick de Bois and published in September 2021

England's DMOs have an important role to play both in the recovery of the tourism sector from COVID-19 and achieving the government's Levelling Up objectives. For this to happen, DMOs need to be at their best, and we need to address long-running concerns about the structure, funding models and fragmentation of England's DMO landscape. 

The DMO Review makes 12 recommendations in total, six of which are directed at the Government, four at DMOs themselves, and one each for Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and Local Authorities (LAs). The response set out the government's response to the recommendations.
