Purpose. In this study, destination management organization (DMO) structure and its performance are discussed. Two leading tourist destinations in Japan, Kyoto and Kamakura, are used as a case study to illustrate the types of countermeasures against overtourism. It adheres to the traditional management theory and contingency theory, while expanding on its limitations. Then, advice is given regarding the implementation of new research on DMO structure. Based on the case study, a new DMO study direction is proposed.
Method. The context of the article concerns exploring and confirming what happened in DMOs. In this case, a qualitative research method should be appropriate, namely case study. Specifically, a comparative case study was employed because the research is synonymous with the scientific method of discovering and establishing general empirical propositions. However, in our study, the theory building aspect is important. Findings. Based on the case study, the DMO in Kyoto was prompted to employ a new device against overtourism, however, Kamakura passed a legislation regulating entry regulations. An initial hypothesis is made and differences of their organizational structure features are discussed.
Research conclusions and limitations. DMO structure would match its performance, however, only one case study was discussed in the research.
Practical implications. Although not intended to be prescriptive solutions, the findings of this study could be used as a blueprint for DMO structure design theory. DMO structure should correspond to the kind of destinations developed.
Originality. This article advances the knowledge of designing effective DMOs. Their memberships are quite important because they influence what resources and technologies need to be selected when the DMO rationally and reasonably develops the destination.
Type of paper. Case study. (original abstract)
