We are thrilled and proud to announce the 25th anniversary of Premio DMC this year!
It was back in 1998 that we first opened the doors of Premio DMC in Costa Rica, leveraging the experience we'd gained since 1991 with our sibling tour operator, Camino Travel. It was a challenging beginning, with a limited availability of quality products and services for incentives. However, gradually, new luxury hotel chains came in, the Guanacaste airport was modernized, more air routes were opened, the reputation of the destination continued to grow, and we increasingly had staff who were better trained and more experienced.
With significant effort, we established ourselves as a preferred DMC for major hotels and incentive houses, who recommended our services due to the excellent results of our programs and the feedback from our customers.
Since then, we've been growing steadily. However, there have also been many challenges over the years... tough and scary moments for the corporate tourism market, up to global events that we could never have predicted and had to experience first hand.
But all of this only made us stronger and taught us how to adapt to change. It instilled in us a new mindset and a winning attitude, alongside the rest of the businesses in the Camino Group. Today, we are very pleased to be celebrating 25 years of success. We are grateful to everyone who believed in us and has been with us and supported us over the years – our customers, hotels, suppliers, professionals, etc., as we blazed our own trail. We did the groundwork, being authentic, ethical, and believing in our abilities and potential.
Above all, our heartfelt thanks go to the Premio DMC Dream Team, who have demonstrated that going the extra mile is possible, both individually and as a team.
We're announcing the celebration right after an extraordinary 2023 high season, marked by the consistent execution of programs, inspections, and the creation of sales proposals like never before.
So, let's start celebrating for the remainder of 2023! There's more to come!
