In 1982, one of the euromic members coined a new term: “Destination Management Company” (or DMC) which was adopted by the Association to describe the specialized services of its members.
This highlighted the creative programs and logistical expertise that allowed these companies to execute successful events and also helped differentiate euromic’s members from traditional “group-tour operators”.

A DMC offers a full range of services and must have, not only a thorough understanding of their destination, but beyond that the experience, imagination, expertise, and local contacts necessary to plan and execute distinctive and exclusive programs for meetings, incentives, conventions and unique special-interest tours.

The term “Destination Management Company” has since become part of the industry lexicon.

euromic strives for top quality and best professional service in the field of group travel, meetings, incentives and conventions.
When enlisting a euromic member or world affiliate as your partner, you get:

Genuine location expertise
We know the territory and speak the language of the destination. We offer professional advice, coordination of services and the inside track to the best hotels, sights, restaurants, entertainment and activities in our area. We can also set up site inspections to be most efficient and effective. We can help you overcome language barriers and navigate unfamiliar systems.

Built-in personal network
In many countries, who you know can be far more important than what you know. Personal relationships long cultivated by a euromic member or world affiliate can make all the difference, especially if you are working on a tight deadline and are looking for a truly exclusive experience.

Creative programs
We can often be more creative in program planning, coming from a local perspective. We know what activities are available and can tailor programs to any type of group.

Logistics managers
We can handle all on-site aspects of a meeting or incentive. This includes recommending and booking hotels and restaurants, handling ground transfers, meeting and greeting clients at the airport, organizing special events including gala banquets and spouse programs, planning local activities, arranging sightseeing tours and excursions. We also provide a central invoicing system, on-site assistance and locally made gifts and promotional items.

Events management
euromic DMC’s know how to make successful events happen. Whether you are launching a new product or throwing a lavish party for a special occasion, you need experts on the ground.  We can help you meet your event management goals at every stage, from creative planning to organizing technical elements and logistics.

Note
When selecting a DMC, please be aware that many companies that just handle tours and transportation claim to be DMC’s. All euromic members and World Affiliates are true DMCs, capable of planning and programming high-calibre meeting, events and incentives.
Basically, when you are looking for a local events & destination manager who can save you time and money with solid local contacts and a flair for creative programs, your best bet is to team up with a euromic member or World Affiliate!
