Contracting a local DMC / Ground Handling partner in the country you are sending your valued clients to as an extension of your travel agency has many benefits. These include: bridging language and cultural barriers; managing local suppliers who may think differently from what you are used to; leveraging their local buying power as a preferred supplier; well-trained staff who can give your clients advice about what to do in their leisure time; knowledge of local weather patterns; knowledge of unique dinner and meeting locations and an ability to get your group access to these often private function areas; ensuring your event meets local legislation and safety criteria. Most importantly, in the event of things going wrong, they will be at your side with an emergency action plan.
