Global DMC Partners (GDP), the global network of independent destination management companies (DMCs) and specialized event service providers, and DMI Hotels, an authorized global sales office for a curated collection of independent hotels and resorts, have formed a partnership.
The two companies report that they have joined forces to better serve their clients of meeting and event professionals seeking on-the-ground support and expertise from local DMCs, hotels and event service providers. This newly formed partnership will help further elevate the offerings of each company while expanding their services and reach.
GDP is a large, worldwide network of independent destination management companies and specialized event service providers. Leveraging its exclusive partnerships, GDP provides a one-stop, global solution for total event success in more than 500 destinations worldwide. An experienced, on-the-ground international sales team centralizes meeting professionals’ event needs, from local DMC services to health and safety protocols, staffing, event technology, gifting, speakers and production.
For almost 25 years, DMI has provided hotel sales representation and marketing services to supplement on-property sales and marketing efforts. The company’s services include direct sales calls, tradeshow participation, solicitation efforts, incentive travel research and lead generation. DMI also organizes a referral program that allows partners to exchange leads and referrals with one another in a non-competitive environment.
“DMI is extremely excited to expand our portfolio across the globe with the largest global DMC partner network in our industry,” said John Gaca, founder and president of DMI Hotels. “With over 500 premier locations worldwide, the addition of Global DMC Partners to DMI will allow us to provide better service to both our long-term and new clients.”
“We are pleased to be partnering with DMI and introducing their clients to our global network of exceptional DMC partners,” said Catherine Chaulet, president and CEO, Global DMC Partners. “We are confident in the DMI team’s expertise and look forward to building a long-term, successful partnership together.”
