ABSTRACT: This paper describes
the Destination Management Systems (DMS). Madagascar is a developing country in
Africa and has a big population. Madagascar is one of the beautiful countries with
its attractive beautiful scenery. These sceneries, lakes and beaches of Madagascar
always attract travelers from all over the world to come to Madagascar to enjoy
the nature, so a portion of this paper discusses
about the tourism sector of Madagascar. No doubt Madagascar is gaining some money from tourism sector, but it can be increased if there can be a strong DMS for the
traveler. The overall Destination Management Systems (DMS) and tourism sector of
Madagascar have been discussed in this paper. As per conclusion, we can say DMS
could increase visitor traffic, attract the right market segment with the provision
of an accurate and up to date comprehensive electronic database. DMS also supports
the wide distribution of destination information online. DMS can also help to create
more efficient internal and external networks, which can have long-term positive
effects on the local economy in achieving competitiveness.
