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.
