GME Destination Management Company
Destination Management Company
Global Morocco Exploration is an Incoming Tour Operator and Destination Management Company in Morocco. We are the official operator for some of the world’s top companies and endeavor to develop high-quality partnerships with a hand-full of select outbound operators around the globe. Many of these collaborations have originated with outbound companies contacting us as they search for a top local tour company to represent them.
The following points show how Global Morocco Exploration conducts business as a destination management company in Morocco. Our policies help us to preserve our relationships with our partners in Morocco, including accommodation establishments, our own staff and coordinators, drivers and guides while still meeting the varied requirements of our customers.
- Tours styles, language and budget
-
As a DMC in Morocco, we can adapt to the needs and requests of our worldwide travel partners. We enjoy working with travel agencies from all over the world. Our tours are private and customized around your customers’ needs and can be arranged for individuals or groups and are led in English, French, Spanish or Arabic.
Our tours range from affordable to middle-range (3/4-star) to upper-middle range (4-star deluxe). We can also accommodate luxury (5-star) level.
Our trips are of various themes: Culture, gastronomy, photography, trekking, students’ educational programs, community service, etc. We invite you to reach out to us about your company’s style and mission and we’ll do our best to adjust our programs to best meet your needs. - Group Size
-
As a destination management company focused on responsible and sustainable tourism, we recommend group sizes that allow us to stick to these criteria. Our tours are focused on offering you and your clients an intimate experience. If you have a large group, we may need to divide the group to allow an intimate experience and to respect sustainability.
- Timing, Terms, and Conditions
-
Please read the following carefully and let us know if you’d like to discuss any specific points. Once we have an established relationship with you as an outbound, we can revisit these criteria to better meet your company’s needs. The following does not necessarily apply to FIT (custom) passengers, such as a family or a group of friends arranging a private trip. The following applies to group departures with set dates of travel.
- Deposits
-
We request a deposit of 7000 MAD per person for any reservation. Once we have a working, longer-term relationship, we may no longer require deposits from our close partners. But, we recommend that you charge your clients a deposit fee to ensure they are serious about traveling with your organization
- Final Payments
-
Final payments for group departures is 60 days or more before the trip start date. We will invoice you earlier. We require a bank transfer to our bank account in Morocco.
- Currency
-
We can only accept bank transfer (wire) payments in MAD, USD, Euro, and British Pounds Sterling (GBP) while keeping the base price.
- Trip Viability for Group Departures
-
We can hold rooms for our partners to ensure they have space for their planned excursions. It’s essential that you have your trip planned and promoted six months or more before your planned start date. We recommend a year of planning in advance.
At the six-month mark: We will complete a “Trip Viability Report” to see if the trip is likely to happen. It’s at this point that we may decide to return up to half or more of any unused rooms to our accommodation partners, so they can fill the slots with direct bookings. This is especially true for high-season periods (April, May, September, October, Easter, and Christmas).
At the three-month mark: We require final numbers. This is a final assessment to measure reservations and release all unused rooms that were on hold for group departures. - Guides, Drivers, and Coordinators
-
Our driver is more than a driver as he’s an essential part of your trip. He is your key to the culture and acts as your link to ensure all runs smoothly. Rather than have a full-time guide who is constantly with your group, you’ll have the opportunity to have expert certified guides (in cities) and coordinators (in rural areas) to bring each area to life opening the doors to culture, history, and more.
- Transportation
-
We use Hyundai H1 Minivans for group of 2-5 adults. From 6-12 adult travelers, we use minibuses. Minibuses that can handle only up to 12 clients and 1 tour escort/leader comfortably. We cannot accommodate requests where each traveler would have their own extra seat unless your group’s size permits it.
- Entrance Fees
-
We include entrance fees for historical monument as mentioned in our itineraries.
