MICE
The role of a DMC
A Destination Management Company (DMC) is a term for a company possessing extensive local knowledge, expertise and resources, specializing in the design and implementation of events, activities, tours, transportation and program logistics.
A DMC provides a ground service based on local knowledge of their given destinations. These services can be transportation, hotel accommodation, restaurants, activities, excursions, conference venues, themed events, gala dinners and logistics, meetings, incentive schemes as well as helping with overcoming language barriers. By acting as purchasing consortia, DMCs can provide preferential rates based on the buying power they have with their preferred suppliers. A good DMC is critical in the success of any program and saves you valuable time.
They provide the following:
Some of the DMC's we represent in the MICE market are also specialists in handling individual FIT and Leisure clients. Asian Trails, Arabian Explorers and New World Travel provide ground handling services, and can design, and plan unique and exclusive programs to suit the leisure market.
We are flexible and versatile. Be it a tailored group itinerary, FIT or specialised experience-based tour; a beach holidays; a family trip; a special honeymoon experience; mountain climbing; through to an unique cooking and cultural experience, we can handle it all. We can assist you with the planning, design, and running of all types of activities tailor-made for leisure guest's needs.
The leisure market, like the MICE market, is an important source of revenue for hotels and destinations alike. Our three ground handlers also offer a full range of meet-and-greet assistance, guided transfers, accommodation arrangements and all types of transportation requirements.
Tourism Portfolio is the vital link between you and the ground handlers we represent. We are able to visit you in your offices for product training, market updates, negotiations and provide assistance where required.
We strongly believe in a collaborative, transparent approach. Whether we're working with our portfolio of clients to enhance and develop their sales and marketing efforts or for meeting planners looking for that important 'edge', it's our transparent, professional commitment that has enabled us to successfully build our business - and yours - with proven results.
