Introduction A DMC is a professional management company specializing in the design and implementation of events, activities, tours, staffing, and transportation utilizing extensive local knowledge, expertise, and resources. A DMC offers, but is not limited to, guest tours, special events within the meeting, VIP amenities, transportation, staffing for conferences, entertainment, dcor, on-site registration, and housing. DMCs work cooperatively with airlines, hotels, resorts, convention centers, alternative venues, and transportation companies. DMCs refer to the entire activities and services for a client as a "program." DMCs are also an important element in incentive travel. Destination Management Companies (DMCs) Primarily found in North America, DMCs are similar to PCOs in that they provide services to in-bound MICE professionals. They differ in their types of services by their more social-oriented services -- they enable meeting attendees to "experience" the unique attributes of a particular city or region. DMC's vs. DMO's DMO's work with interests of community and private companies that provide services. DMC's get leads on new accounts from planners that have gone through a DMO. Two or more DMC's provide proposals. Responding to clients RFP's take considerable time. Now, for more details elaboration about DMC's please read the content below!

FOOD and BEVERAGE OPERATIONS Halloooo my beloved students.. Let's talk about FOOD and BEVERAGE OPERATIONS The event coordinator had been working with the chairperson of a fund- raising committee to design an elegant gala event to attract new sponsors and donors for a charity organization. The chairperson was adamant about using a new restaurant, at which she had dined, to do the catering because it was "the talk of the town." The restaurant, however, had never catered an off-premise event before. Despite the event coordinator's ad- vice to secure proposals from numerous caterers, the committee acqui- esced to the chairperson. Later, the event coordinator overheard two guests discussing the dinner. "Oh well, the average person has more than 40,000 meals in a lifetime. I can live without this one, and I can live without supporting this organization as well." Food and beverages may be an integral or tangential component of an event, but they are the primary focus of many events. They can make or break an event, or, as illustrated earlier, if not elected properly, can fail to fulfill the aspirations of an event. The professional event coordinator must understand the function of food and beverage within the purpose of the event in order to meet and exceed expectations while fulfilling the nutritional needs and preferences of those being served. From a chocolate extravaganza as a fund-raising event, to candied apples at a harvest festival, gourmet box lunches for a sightseeing tour, or a seven- course banquet honoring a visiting head of state, the right food service can facilitate the achievement of an event's goals and objectives
