Lisle bureau retains international recognition

For the third time in its 27 year history, the Lisle Convention & Visitors Bureau has received the coveted Destination Marketing Organization accreditation.

Lisle Convention & Visitors Bureau was awarded with the Destination Marketing Accreditation Program seal by Destinations International in recognition of the organization's commitment to industry excellence and meeting the industry standard for performance and accountability of destination organizations around the world.

The accreditation program requires a destination organization to successfully comply with a multitude of mandatory and voluntary standards that span a variety of performance areas. The standards cover nearly all aspects related to the management and marketing of destination organizations including governance, finance, human resources, sales, communications, destination development and research.

DMAP is an international accreditation program developed by the Washington, D.C. based Destination International. By holding the DMAP accreditation, destination marketing organizations (DMOs) communicate to their community, buyers and potential visitors that their DMO has attained the highest measure of excellence.

"It was very important for the LCVB to retain the Destination Marketing Accreditation," said Diane Homolka, executive director of the LCVB. "We provide a high level of return to our village, stakeholders and visitors to Lisle, and this accreditation validates that we are and have been doing just that." The LCVB works with meeting planners to bring meetings and events into Lisle.
