“The relevance of destination organizations has never been more vital to the economic vitality of the places Destinations International members serve.”

This is the 17th year that VisitPITTSBURGH has received the DMAP designation.

“We’re thrilled to have VisitPITTSBURGH’s commitment to excellence recognized on a global scale,” said Jerad Bachar, President & CEO of VisitPITTSBURGH.

“Accreditation through DMAP underscores the critical role that destination organizations play in their communities,” added Tania Armenta, chair of the DMAP Board of Directors.
