[REFRESHED CITY PERSPECTIVES 🌊] In Tórshavn, attendees then faced a tough choice — two inspiring sessions running in parallel at the CityDNA Autumn Conference 2025. 👉 “Positioning City Tourism in the EU’s Political Agenda” with Raymond Keaney (TU Dublin) explored how tourism can gain stronger recognition within EU policymaking. From the CityDNA Tórshavn Declaration to the upcoming EU Sustainable Tourism Strategy (2026) and the International Year of Sustainable and Resilient Tourism (2027), the discussion highlighted opportunities for DMOs to shape funding, governance, and the visitor economy’s future. 👉 “AI in Practice: Insider Tips From CityDNA Knowledge Groups” with David Peacock (Simpleview (a Granicus company)) and Knowledge Groups contributors showcased how AI is transforming DMOs — from chatbots and predictive analytics to sustainability initiatives and visitor dispersal strategies. Practical examples like Amsterdam’s visitor flow studies and the German Convention Office’s chatbot project illustrated both potential and challenges in applying AI responsibly. Whether engaging with EU decision-makers or experimenting with cutting-edge AI tools, the message was clear: DMOs must innovate and collaborate to secure tourism’s place in Europe’s future. #CityDNA #RefreshedCityPerspectives #VisitorEconomy #TourismPolicy #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfTourism Visit Tórshavn Visit Faroe Islands Visit Faroe Islands Meetings
