Destinations International Partnership Guide 2025

ABOUT THE DI FOUNDATION

The Destinations International Foundation is a nonprofit organization that focuses on future innovations, incubating new tools, resources and programs to empower destinations globally. Unlike the Destinations International Association, which addresses the immediate needs of destination organizations and members, the Foundation serves as the industry’s think tank, driving long-term growth and development through research and resource investment. The Destinations International Foundation incubates developmental programs, resources and tools to help destinations excel. Look at many of the innovative pilot programs launched by the Foundation that have now become critical resources managed by the Association for hundreds of destinations worldwide.

WHY INVEST IN THE FOUNDATION

Investing in the DI Foundation directly fuels the innovation and development of new products, resources and tools that destination organizations rely on to succeed in the communities they serve. Every dollar raised bolsters destination organizations, directly benefiting the businesses that depend on the travel and tourism industry. By supporting leadership development and innovative programs, partners play a crucial role in shaping a future of skilled professionals and forward-thinking solutions while fostering stronger global collaboration. This partnership positions businesses as key contributors to economic development, enhancing their corporate social responsibility and helping them prepare for future challenges.
