On the other hand, chain hotels pop up in the East and Westnumerously and start feeling the cold wind of stagnation. Severalstrategies were chosen to come up with these trends. Some CTOs tendto rely on their own, but most of them want to cooperate with otherCTOs, considered as competitors before. Pathfinder cities foundedEuropean Cities Tourism (ECT), with the initial goal ofstrengthening their position towards the European institutions. Butprotecting the interests of more than onehundred cities - small andbig ones, classical tourism hot spots and newly re-emerged citiesin all directions and with different target groups - is very hard.ECT is expanding its acitivities, but how will it evolve?
