Global DMC Partners (GDP), the largest 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 joined forces to better serve their meetings clients seeking on-the-ground support and expertise from local DMCs, hotels and event service providers. 

According to DMI and Global DMC officials, the newly formed partnership will further elevate each company’s offerings while expanding their services and reach.

“DMI is extremely excited to expand our portfolio across the globe with the largest global DMC partner network in our industry,” said DMI Founder and President John Gaca. “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.”

Leveraging its exclusive partnerships, GDP provides a one-stop, global solution for total event success in more than 500 destinations worldwide. The network boasts an experienced, on-the-ground international sales team that centralizes meetings professionals’ event needs, including local DMC services, 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, trade show participation, solicitation efforts, incentive travel research and lead generation. Additionally, DMI organizes a referral program that allows partners to exchange leads and referrals in a non-competitive environment.

“We are pleased to be partnering with DMI and introducing their clients to our global network of exceptional DMC partners,” said Catherine Chaulet, Global DMC Partners president and CEO. “We are confident in the DMI team’s expertise and look forward to building a long-term, successful partnership together.”
