This study revealed the organizational features of Japanese conventional tourist association. As motioned in various previous studies, this Japanese-unique organization has not been recognized as destination management organization due to its limited functions, however, some advanced DMO in other countries are also faced on the similar challenges as Japanese tourist associations do. For example, Consorci Turisme de Barcelona, known as one of the most advanced DMO globally, is on the process to stabilize its functions through stronger governance from city government commitment.
