The Caribbean is a popular choice for meetings and events, thanks to its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant cultures. Various venues are available, including hotels, resorts, conference centers, and even private islands.
If you are in the process of organizing an event in Mexico and the Caribbean, it is essential to contract a DMC to assist with the planning and execution. We understand that there are several critical factors to consider when determining where, when, and with whom to organize your event.
Therefore, we are pleased to provide some key considerations:
Experience
Ensure that the DMC has a track record of planning events in Mexico and the Caribbean.
The DMC team should be well-acquainted with the local culture, customs, as well as the various venues and vendors at their disposal.
Awards speak volumes, as they are not easily earned. A company with an array of awards has demonstrated its expertise and experience.
Communication
The DMC team should possess effective communication skills when interacting with you and your team.
Make sure to identify your contacts and their correct means of communication, such as cell phone numbers, email addresses, phone groups, etc.
They should demonstrate responsiveness to your emails and phone calls and have the capability to articulate their event plans clearly.
Flexibility
Events don’t always unfold as expected, so it’s crucial that the DMC team demonstrates flexibility.
They should be capable of adjusting to changes in your plans and thinking on their feet in case of unexpected issues.
In addition to these factors, you may also want to consider the following when contacting a DMC team for your event:
References
Ask for references from previous clients. This will give you a good idea of their work and their ability to meet your needs.
Personality
The DMC team should be composed of individuals with whom you feel at ease collaborating.
They should be easy to communicate with and a team in whom you can place your trust to manage your event.
