Stronger Than Ever, Global DMC Partners Continues to Grow
From Hawaii to New York City, Argentina to the U.K., GDP broadens its influential destination management network, supported by its international sales team
Global DMC Partners (GDP), the premier global resource for virtual, hybrid and in-person events, has recently partnered with new DMCs from throughout the U.S. and international market world, strengthening its incomparable network. GDP remains the leading global sales and marketing engine for independently owned-DMCs that are eager and ready to take on the “new normal” for face-to-face meetings. With a global sales team strategically located across the Americas and Europe, the GDP team is eager to connect planners around the world with the best in class, expert DMCs that encompass over 500 destinations.
“We are highly selective when adding new partners and look for those that are capable of evolving, adapting and growing with us during these changing times,” said President and CEO of Global DMC Partners Catherine Chaulet. “Remaining fully active throughout the entire pandemic to keep the entire industry engaged and informed, we used this time to strengthen our relationships, hosting more than 100 webinars as well as our first-ever Virtual Connection. We also launched our popular panel series, which involves client discussions around our quarterly pulse surveys and current trends. Further, we listened to our clients and adapted with innovative ideas and creative solutions that have made us stronger than ever before. We’re excited and ready to get back to face-to-face business, while continuing with virtual and hybrid needs, and we can’t wait to introduce our clients to the new DMCs in our global partnership!”
