Looking for Excellent DMCs offering Unique Luxury and Adventure Experiences for your clients?

I hope you, your family and your colleagues are all managing ok through this very difficult time.

I would like to introduce you to my consultancy and representation company TravelKinship , I am working with some amazing DMC clients around the world on strategic planning, sales and marketing support, product development and all areas of business systems and growth. Together we are building strong, unique businesses which operate efficiently and effectively so that you can breathe a sigh of relief to work with them.

I whole-heartedly believe my clients offer what you need in terms of product and service during and beyond this terrible pandemic. I would love to talk to you about them. I only work with suppliers who can offer:

• Luxury with less bling and more belonging - protecting local heritage, involving local people and communities, sense of place and authenticity. Luxury in the strength and positive impact of the experience.
• Sustainability is engrained in everything they do - they do it and do it really well.
• Engagement and Inclusivity - everyone is welcome, encouraged and taking part - broaden the visitor's horizons and perspectives.
• Rock stars of "Off the beaten trail" - we "spread the wealth" and get into and support smaller, more rural and less-visited yet often the most fascinating communities.
• Quality and Experiences over quantity - slow travel, slow food, the best in personalisation and customer service.
• Road trip options - road trips by car, 4x4, motorbike or bicycle to add more sense of freedom, adventure, challenge and sense of achievement for travellers.
• Hands-on, professional owners who are truly knowledgable and creative - suppliers who care, work with passion and have a creative flair.

Here is a summary of my partners. Do also get in touch if you are looking for suppliers in other countries.

You can also connect with us all on SquirrelFish and get access to each DMC's images, videos, example itineraries and other resources. Do let me know if you don't yet have your free account and would like one.
