Travel is in our bones here at 212F. It\u2019s almost like second nature, having seen the impact of what a well-executed corporate incentive travel<\/a> can do for a brand. Providing trophy value, elevating brand loyalty, increasing brand advocacy from attendees and many more impactful positive aspects can be earned by providing a memorable travel experience to your brand\u2019s most loyal customers. However, we don’t do it alone. We often work with local destination management companies (DMC) for their invaluable know-how and local expertise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite deploying successful travel incentives across Australia and New Zealand since 1996, it\u2019s important to know the power of local knowledge when planning an international travel experience \u2013 no matter how much you know about travel, you can\u2019t beat the first-hand experience that comes from local knowledge and local contacts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nWhat is a Destination Management Company (DMC)?\n<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>

It\u2019s important to have an agency like 212F to handle the boring but essential parts of planning your B2B travel incentive experience. Flights, accommodation, and transportation are all aspects of your trip that your brand cannot afford to get wrong, and more importantly, it\u2019s our bread and butter. An agency does this every day and therefore has contacts and connections that let us provide you with competitive pricing that a regular company trying to plan an incentive trip on their own simply couldn\u2019t arrive at.<\/p>\n

However, that doesn\u2019t mean that we\u2019re experts in every location around the world. Destination management companies (DMCs) are widely used in the travel industry and help us provide once-in-a-lifetime bespoke cultural experiences that cut through any generic trip, letting your guests be part of the location and provide the memorable details that will stay with your closest customers, prompting them to tell everyone about what their favourite brand did for them, all for just being a customer!<\/p>\n

DMCs assist event planners in sorting out critical event details and helping with some of the location-based tasks on the planner\u2019s to-do list. The local knowledge offered by a DMC helps us provide the best hotel locations, restaurants, and activities \u2013 and advises us on what to avoid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There is also an additional financial benefit to working with a DMC that you may not realize \u2013 in many locations, beyond providing cost-effective suggestions for options, they\u2019re also able to book for you, reducing potential tax payments to be incurred through international purchases.<\/p>\n

The connections offered by a DMC provide a variety of benefits to your trip, ranging from authenticity, cost and time savings, local connections to ensure the highest quality benefits for you and your customers, and assistance ensuring that every feature of your trip meets safety standards.<\/p>\n

We work with DMCs to ensure that your brand and your guests are subject to only the best parts of the destination, and reduce any potential risks or unnecessary spending, instead focusing on the positives of your trip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
