As the business grows, key actors need to keep evolving in order to meet the ever-changing needs of their customers. Ovation has been taking steps towards that direction by entering into new partnerships, aiming at further strengthening its positioning within the European, Asian, American and African markets.

Commenting on the recent developments, Hugo Slimbrouck, Director of Strategic Partnerships of Ovation stated: “I’m excited with the addition of these grand US destinations to our portfolio! Working with strategic partners in more than 50 countries around the globe brings great value to our corporate and third-party clients. What is particularly pleasing is that we have expanded our US partnerships with a company that we share similar DNA with. 360DG offices are all ADMEI certified and play a proactive role within SITE (Society of Incentive Travel Excellence) and FICP (Financial & Insurance Conference Professionals association). Ovation will announce more partnerships in other destinations of strategic interest in the next few months.”

This expansion comes as a result of the Ovation Strategic Partner Program, launched in July 2009. The program was introduced to provide DMC services to companies, associations and agencies at locations where Ovation did not have a wholly owned office. Ovation Strategic Partners are, typically, the leading local DMC and are selected based on strict criteria.

Drawing on the experience of a true expert local management team, these new partnerships aim at enhancing the high touch incentive and corporate meeting program capabilities for both national and international clients.
