Description:
Destination knowledge management contributes to destinations' competitiveness. Knowledge mapping is used to organize knowledge in a database so that users can find what they need in a convenient and easy way. This study compares knowledge maps of four destination types (city, mountain, historic and island resort tourism) and suggests different mapping schemes. The supporting data were collected using both open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires. Finally, public sector involvement was suggested in building a tourist destination knowledge depository.
