Tour Operator or Destination Management Company/DMC?
The Tourism industry never put a lot of importance on the tour operator receptive who brings into the country the foreign tourists, with more days staying in the country with a normally higher budget for travelling than the national tourist and most important the income stays 100% inside the country.?
The benefit goes directly to the provider of the services in the region. And yes, international tourism spends much more on souvenirs and local handicrafts than the domestic travelers.?
The Tour Operators melt together with all the services alongside the chain of providers, including transportation, hotels, restaurants, guides, historical & ecological sites, entertainment & activities, and most important the local guides who accompany the guests on their travel experience through any country tourism

There are tour operators that have started with pure leisure travel and now also take care of events or corporate travel – the so-called MICE business. And yes, there is a difference that a regular tour operator can not cover. A DMC or Destination Management Company is considered the specialist for groups (small or big ones) that have a corporate theme or interest. Both segments of international or national events are handled by a DMC. They are professionals that guarantee the success of the event, give you the best tips and news about the locations, and work as an extension of the company that is requiring the services. Each event requires different providers and a good DMC knows the pros & cons parts of the providers, restaurant, hotels. etc – work with a local DMC helps you to not step into the dark and to be updated with the local services and infrastructure.
Most of the DMC′s have developed during the pandemic and now include even a more amplified range of services, starting with marketing and communication, production, and AV services.
Both activities – incoming tour operator/tour operator receptive and on the other side a DMC, both create and promote the ideal place for a growing industry.
