we enjoy creating the best possible solution that balances multiple stakeholder needs when sourcing, supplying, guaranteeing and distributing accommodation; from the organiser, the multiple attendee types (from groups, subgroups, sponsors, VIPs, board, staff speakers etc etc)... whilst balancing and respecting the local stakholder needs; venues, CVBs, and most of all the HotelPartners... How do we do this; Its about the technology we use, and the team that deliver and excced on expectations...

Location, location, location! When you’re planning an event, location is one of the most important elements. You’ll firstly need to consider transport links and accommodation. ✈️🛏️ The venue you choose needs to be easily accessible for your attendees. If they are arriving from around the world, being close to an airport is important, and if they’re travelling from around the country, rail links might be a priority. Once you’ve assessed where people are coming from, you can start your venue search. 🔍 If your event takes place over a number of days, having accommodation at the venue or close by will be essential (no one wants to have to trek halfway across the city and back the next day!). Assess the accommodation options for the venue and make sure there is availability during the time of your event. ⏰ Stay tuned for more venue top tips from our Viva Esprit event experts! 🤩 #venue #eventvenue #eventpros #eventplanning #location #eventtips

First of all kudos to GBTA | Global Business Travel Association for creating an Accessibility Toolkit. This is a long overdue area of our industry that frankly has been neglected and not prioritized for far too long. I have personally witnessed the neglect while attending conferences and events where the needs for those requiring better accessibility go unaddressed or marginally provided. Imagine how frustrating this is for those requiring better accessibility while trying to navigate the challenging logistical layouts of hotel venues, conference centers, exhibition halls, dining and lobby areas, and even dealing with the limited number of hotel rooms that can accommodate for their special needs. I hope other associations can piggyback on GBTA's toolkit and right set what has long been a neglected part of the business travel and meetings and events industries for way too long. #eventprofs #meetingprofs #accessibilityforall #biztravel Meeting Professionals International GBTA | Global Business Travel Association GBTA Foundation #APIeventprofs Proske

*What is the benefit of working with the DMC registered in the specific country?* #travel #travelagent #travelagents #travelindustry Working with a DMC (Destination Management Company) registered in the specific country offers several benefits. Firstly, a DMC registered in the specific country would always be there to take care of your clients personally in order to make them feel they are safe there. Secondly, it is likely to have a better understanding of the local market, culture, and regulations, which can help ensure smooth operations and compliance with local laws. Additionally, working with a DMC in the home country can provide easier communication channels, faster response times, and better access to local resources and networks. Overall, partnering with a DMC registered in the specific country can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your travel or event planning process.
