What is a Destination Management Company or DMC?

 

 
As we move beyond "Vancouver is the host city of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games" into "Vancouver is an awesome destination to host your meeting or incentive" we get introspective about our value as a Destination Management Company. Our industry continues to evolve and, with many companies looking to diversify, this question really hits home.
 
What is a DMC or Destination Management Company
 
We at Cantrav have really looked at focusing on what we do best with the following definition as a benchmark:

"A Destination Management Company is a local service organisation that provides consulting services, creative events and exemplary management of logistics based on an in-depth knowledge of the destination and the needs of the incentive and motivation market." (from "Is there a need for destination management companies (DMC)? by Tasso Pappas"

The above describes us perfectly (and we didn't even create it!).

Cantrav combines 27+ years of company DMC experience with the depth of our team's relationships and knowledge into making your events memorable. Partnering with Cantrav gets you the very best of the destination while helping you achieve your goals, whether they be:

  • Deliver an exciting program
  • Develop and strengthen relationships
  • Teach new skills
  • Recognize achievements and milestones
  • Something unique and specific.

Our mission says "where passion defines service". To be perfectly up-front about this, there is no way we would work as hard as we do with as much energy and passion if we did not believe in the power of meetings and events. You might define this as "ROI" (return on investment), or "ROR" (return on relationship). We just know that we care as much as you do about the end result, and we keep that in mind throughout the planning and delivery process.

We really can't wait to show you what the most liveable city in the world has to offer...fom our perspective as a passionate Vancouver destination management company!
