Planning a corporate event, incentive trip, or conference abroad? Discover why working with a DMC in Gran Canaria is the smartest move for international companies looking to deliver unforgettable experiences.
What Is a DMC?
A DMC (Destination Management Company) is a specialized agency that provides comprehensive solutions for corporate events, business travel, and incentive experiences in a specific destination. In Spanish, these companies are also known as “local integrated travel agencies” due to their deep knowledge and connection with the local environment.
DMCs operate as trusted local partners, offering expert support for companies that need to plan events abroad. Thanks to their on-the-ground expertise, they are able to deliver professional, creative, and fully customized services, tailored to each client’s goals.
Their services typically include:
- Venue sourcing and event logistics
- Hotel and restaurant bookings
- Airport transfers and local transportation
- AV production and technical support
- Multilingual staff and translation services
- Cultural activities and team-building programs
There are different types of DMCs:
- Some focus on corporate events and incentive travel
- Others specialize in congresses or specific services
- Some operate in multiple destinations nationally or internationally
- Others choose to focus exclusively on one location to provide a highly personalized service
Regardless of their structure, all Destination Management Company (DMC) share the same goal: to connect businesses with the destination that best fits their objectives, and to create impactful, seamless, and memorable corporate experiences.

Benefits of Working with a DMC
As mentioned before, a Destination Management Company is primarily responsible for the planning, coordination, and execution of corporate events and business travel. Their work ranges from booking flights, hotels, meals, and transfers, to sourcing trusted local suppliers and finding the perfect venues.
DMCs are especially valuable when organizing activities for large groups, as they’re highly experienced in managing group logistics and designing engaging programs. Whether it’s group dynamics, team-building sessions, training workshops, talk shows, or collaborative experiences — anything that helps to strengthen your brand, boost sales, or align your team — a DMC can make it happen.
But that’s not all. They also help clients find the most suitable and cost-effective spaces for each event. Some DMCs even offer advanced services like event scripting, stage presentation, host and hostess hiring, catering, stand and booth design, branded photo opportunities, event communications, or audiovisual production. It’s a comprehensive portfolio of services, often with better pricing than what clients could secure directly, and designed to make every event 100% effective and stress-free.
Another key feature of many DMCs is post-event analysis. These agencies don’t just deliver your project — they also provide a follow-up assessment to identify strengths, areas for improvement, and — most importantly — evaluate how well your business goals were met. They often include surveys, feedback forms, and a complete report that gives you clear insights and actionable recommendations.
Organizing an event from abroad can be challenging. Here’s how a local DMC can help you succeed:

Time-saving: We handle everything, so you can focus on your guests and goals.
Cost-efficiency: We negotiate better prices and avoid costly mistakes.
Creativity: We design experiences that reflect your brand and leave a lasting impression.
