DMS WORKSHOPS -
PUT IT IN YOUR DIARY!
Sydney Workshop - Thursday 25 February 2010
Melbourne Workshop - Monday 1 March 2010

Welcome to the third edition of the DMS e-newsletter featuring sensational special offers from our DMC business partners in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
These special offers for some of our "long haul" clients are exceptional value for money. Whether they fit your client's budget in their exact form, or whether you need some variations on the program - please contact us to see how we can assist.
And if your clients are not looking to travel in 2009 - we are happy to start looking at 2010 and 2011!
 
Tailormade Itineraries - for any sort of group!
Whether it's an incentive, a meeting, a study tour, a group attending an international congress, a special interest group, or just a group of people looking to get the best out of a destination - our DMCs can put together a tailor made program using their local knowledge and expertise.

Tradeshows and Exhibitions
Many clients are now combining their incentive trips with trade shows and study tours. As perception of how clients spend their money is so critical these days, its always worth knowing if there's a special event or tradeshow that could fit in with your client's program to give it a more "business like" focus. Our DMCs can help let you know if there are any upcoming events in their destinations.

Brilliant Feedback
Despite the business slowing down, we've had several Australian and New Zealand groups who've recently returned from some of our European and African destinations and we'd love you to take a minute to read some of the wonderful feedback.
 
Famil to Dubai and London
Leila recently took a group of buyers from Australia and New Zealand to IMEX in Frankfurt, including a familiarisation to Dubai and London with our DMCs. By all accounts it was an excellent trip, so please have a look at Leila's report and the feedback.
 

We couldn't fit specials from all our DMCs in this edition, so if you can't find the destination you're looking for or need a more customised program from one of our DMCs listed contact us and let the team at DMS connect you with the best DMCs and deals from around the world!

Conference Focus

Testimonial on Emeco Travel - Egypt
Our delegates rated our Egypt conference as the best yet. Emeco Travel played an important part in this success, with their assistance from the planning stages to the ground operations on site. Everything was highly organised, ran like clockwork and their whole team including their Egyptologists, were extremely friendly, helpful & very knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone & only hope I can take another group to Egypt soon.

Testimonial on Horizon Travel - Greece
I was thrilled with the service I received from Horizon Travel. They provided unique creative solutions and were flexible to ensure our exact requirements were met. The team were very professional and provided a premium service, not only whilst on site but in the lead up to the program. I would highly recommend Horizon Travel and would definitely work with them again.

Testimonial on TekSer Tourism & Travel Co Inc. - Turkey

Just wanted to let you know how delighted the group were with the Turkey trip. They all arrived in Samos very happy and having obviously had a great time. Now that the majority of the client surveys have been returned this praise for the quality of the tour operation is universal and the praise for the team work surpasses all the other tours for this Conference and for all previous Conference pre and post tours many of which have been excellent.
