Travel Readiness Framework

A maturity view that helps destinations forecast the next readiness milestone needed for long-term growth.

Use this when

  • Sequencing destination capability building
  • Forecasting multi-year development phases
  • Explaining maturity to stakeholders

Why it matters

Many destinations know they are not fully ready but do not know which capabilities should come next.

Edition note

The playbook uses the framework to encourage chronological capability building rather than isolated one-off initiatives.

How to apply it

  1. 1Diagnose the destination’s current readiness stage.
  2. 2Map the blocking capabilities and ecosystem needs.
  3. 3Sequence the next milestones chronologically.

Diagram reconstruction

Visualize the model in layers.

This web-native version treats the framework as a navigable system. Each layer is surfaced as a scannable concept so teams can interpret the model without reading the PDF page by page.

Layer 1

Problem awareness

Layer 2

Capability building

Layer 3

Coordination

Layer 4
