A Destination Management Company (DMC) is a company that specializes in the organization
and logistics of meetings and events.
A Destination Management Company (DMC) is a relatively new term that describes a company that
specializes in the organization and logistics of meetings and events in a specific country. With their
in-depth knowledge of the field, (a region or a country) their many years of experience in organizing
programs, and their creativity, the key-word when working with a DMC is 'customized'. No matter what the
event or the occasion, Destination Management Companies will always find a surprising and tailor-made
solution. They are the local partner of an outgoing travel agent.
What does a DMC do? And why may you need one?
Besides organizing meetings, incentives and events, a company offering Destination Management will
also arrange social, partner and pre- and post-meeting programs. Other special services include catering,
dinners and entertainment. If you wish, a DMC will even make hotel reservations, arrange transportation and
provide travel management, guides and hostesses. Destination Management Companies remain behind the scenes
while ensuring that everything runs according to plan.
Experienced DMC's provide a Return on Investment (ROI) to clients with
clear event goals and objectives. A qualified DMC can coordinate available venues, area attractions and
destination resources required to meet your requirements and ensure a successful program saving
you both time and money in research, negotiations, planning and due diligence. A good DMC also
provides added value through connections, preferential services and peace of mind.
