euromic was founded in 1973. With more than thirty-five years of experience, this non-profit association has earned the status of "THE Association of the Leading Destination Management Companies in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin".
One of the secrets of its success and longevity is the one-member-per-country policy and its focus on destinations only within its area of the world.

Recognized for its experience and expertise in meetings, incentives, conventions and high calibre special-interest programs, euromic stands for quality, security, stability, sophistication and the highest standards of professional conduct, as well as success. euromic strives for top quality and best professional service in the field of group travel, meetings, incentives and conventions.

Membership is by invitation only. Each member company is an independent and experienced Destination Management Company, which has proved its capacity to meet stringent euromic qualifications.
Membership is limited to one DMC per country and is both a privilege and a quality seal.

By including just one Destination Management Company from each Destination, euromic aims for the best and the highest calibre service. It therefore involves a careful and thorough selection process. The candidates are strictly subjected to an arduous selection process as follows:

1. A selection of prospective members that have been pre-qualified as true DMC’s are invited and sent application forms
2. Each applicant is thoroughly investigated to ensure it meets euromic’s criteria for handling meeting and incentive events with efficiency, professionalism and creativity. The company’s structure, operations and staff are scrutinized – including employee turnover rate and financial records
3. Next, euromic checks the reputation of the candidate DMC’s by interviewing their clients and their suppliers, including hotels and transportation companies for feedback. It must be clear that the candidate is experienced in handling client groups from a range of markets, from local to overseas
4. The search is then narrowed down to three or four candidates. Those DMC’s are interviewed by euromic’s Board of Directors, and the field is reduced to two finalists
5. All euromic members then vote for one of the two finalists. A two-thirds majority is required for the final approval

The World Affiliation is limited to selected incentive destinations, outside euromic’s geographical area and, is open only to independent agencies recognized for their experience and expertise in meetings, incentives, conferences and high-caliber special-interest programs.

All candidates must meet euromic’s stringent criteria and pass a selection process similar to that for euromic members. World affiliation is limited to one DMC per country and it is both a privilege and a quality seal.
