It All Starts with a Visit

Destination promotion is not just about attracting visitors; it's about cultivating a vibrant community where everyone thrives.

A landmark research report released by Destinations International entitled “Destination Promotion: A Catalyst for Community Vitality” shows the strong connection between destination promotion and community well-being and economic development.

The research demonstrates the far-reaching positive impacts of destination promotion, extending beyond the tourism industry to benefit the entire community. The cycle of destination promotion improves resident quality of life, supports government services, encourages workforce development, and builds a broad economic base. Visitors to a destination are more likely to choose the destination as a place to live, work and invest.

The Value of Tourism

Welcome to Southeast Volusia’s Community website! A community-centric resource developed to deepen your connection with the New Smyrna Beach Area Destination Management Organization (DMO) and the visitor economy.

This site is more than just an invitation; it's a collaboration, encouraging our residents to actively partner with us in initiatives such as Sustainable Tourism and the Destination Ambassador Program. In addition to these engaging opportunities, we've enriched the site with comprehensive resources highlighting the local community.

Your involvement is key to our shared success, fostering a sustainable, vibrant tourism culture and the place we all call home. Join us in this dynamic journey to celebrate and preserve the unique charm of the New Smyrna Beach Area.
