What is expected from a Hosted DMO?

Approximately two weeks prior to the event, you will be asked to enter the event portal where you will request appointments with your choice of suppliers. Shortly after that, we will finalize and confirm your appointment schedule and you'll be provided with a schedule of pre-set appointments.
Please come to the event with business in hand, honor your appointment schedule, and stay for the entire event.
How much does it cost?
When you apply for an eTourism event, you’ll be asked to place a registration deposit (typically between $99 – $200, depending on the show that you registered for). If approved, we’ll provide your flight, hotel accommodations, and your registration at no cost. Upon the successful completion of your pre-scheduled 1-on-1 appointments, your registration deposit will be refunded.

No worries! If you already know that there are times you will not be able to take marketplace meetings, please let a member of our team know. Notifying our team ahead of time will eliminate any problems on site and ensure you have a smooth experience.
