Fayetteville (NC) Bureau Receives DMAP Recognition  

Cumberland County, NC -  Earlier this month, the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (FACVB) was recognized with reaccreditation through DMAI’s Destination Marketing Accreditation Program (DMAP). Developed by Destination Marketing Association International (DMAI), the industry-wide accreditation program distinguishes official destination marketing organizations committed to industry excellence.  The accreditation is good for 8 years. 

“To become reaccredited, we had to re-apply for this recognition, and examine and submit current proof of working within DMAI’s high standards,” says John Meroski, FACVB  President and CEO.  “It was a long and valuable process and we are pleased that we are compliant on all of DMAI’s standards.”

 Each DMAP accredited bureau is required to provide evidence of compliance with more than 90 mandatory and voluntary standards. The standards set by DMAP cover a wide variety of topics including governance, finance, management, human resources, technology, visitor services, group services, sales, communications, membership, brand management, destination development, research/market intelligence, innovation, and stakeholder relationships.

DMAP is an independent international accreditation body and a leader in defining quality and performance issues in destination marketing. For additional information on DMAP visit www.destinationmarketing.org.
