Advanced destination management can’t do without quality communication. It is necessary to pay due attention to communication so that it can be effective. That means to monitor also new trends and possibilities that modern life offers in the sphere of communication. More and more the emphasis is put on online communication, which has become a phenomenon of our time and in many cases replaces traditional ways of communication gradually. The paper deals with contemporary communication trends and focuses on the tourism sector, specifically on the problems of its management. It examines particular means of online communication and possibilities of their use in destination management.

On the basis of observed results it then put suggestions how it would be possible to make this communication more effective.
