As in every month we spend hours to grade all tourism organizations (US and Canada) we could find on Twitter using Twitter Grader. As you can see from the data below at the end of September the top 50 destinations on the list all had basically the same score.

Some of you had asked what our criteria are for listing a DMO Twitter account. There are basically two rules we have:

a) The account must be the account of an official tourism organization.

b) We only list one account per organization.
Several tourism organizations have multiple accounts (either by department function, e.g. consumer / PR / membership) or have several people tweeting on behalf of the organization. We have decided to list only one account per organization as the list would otherwise get even longer and it would make deciding which accounts should be on the list even more complicated.

If there is interest in having a lists of all Twitter accounts for destinations without a ranking we could put such a list together. Just let us know.

We have added several more accounts to the list since we put this one together at the end of September. If we are missing accounts, please let us know.
