Eight San Francisco destination management companies joined forces to create the San Francisco Destination Management Council, an organization with the stated intention of focusing on best practices, industry issues and attracting more group business to the area.
The DMCs involved are Access Destination Services, Brier & Dunn, Benchmark Destinations, Kuoni Destination Management, Mana Allison & Associates, Maximize Events, PRA Destination Management and USA Hosts/Key Events, all of which represent approximately 80 percent of the DMC business in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"The San Francisco Destination Management Council will ensure our city is represented with the highest standards in quality across the board," said Josh Brief of Brier & Dunn in a statement. "This quality control will keep clients coming back to our beautiful city, which is what our industry needs."
