There is a mango grove with barn, herb garden amphitheater, lakeside lawn, hilltop altar and more. The number of guests, time of year and type of celebration help determine which area is best suited for your celebration.

The competition encouraged local foodies and visitors to attend the Gala Dinner and Award Ceremony. Attendees enjoyed a four-course dinner with the celebrity chefs.

A DMC offers intimate destination knowledge and can take care of all ground services – transfers, accommodation, restaurants, venues, logistics and activities. A DMC can provide you with access to once in a lifetime experiences which aren’t generally available to the public and because they have preferred relationships and great buying power, they can obtain cost effective rates to meet your budget.

Tips for selecting a DMC:

• Do your homework – remember the DMC in a destination should be your partner, so they are an important element of the program.
• Do they belong to an industry association? This will show their understanding of the meeting and incentive industry.
• Use them properly – think “value” rather than “cost”
