DMC FAQs

Over the years, we’ve learned that the destination management industry is a mystery to many. If you have questions about DMCs and what in the world we do, you’re not alone. (Even our own friends and family have a hard time grasping the services we provide!)

In an effort to shed some light on our little slice of the meetings world, we have created this Frequently Asked Questions page. We invite you to give us a call or email us with your DMC FAQs and we will be happy to answer them.

If you are only in need of a team-building activity or airport transportation for your group, that’s perfectly fine with us! Many of our clients only need help with one or two services, whereas others utilize our full spectrum of services including special events, transportation, team-building, local activities, amenities, staffing, and production services.
