NASSAU-based Island Destination Services has won the 2016 World Travel Award for the Bahamas’ Leading Destination Management Company.

Lonise Carey, Managing Director, was presented with the award on Saturday night at Sandals Ochi Beach Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and said she was honoured to have the company’s hard work recognised in this fashion.

“This World Travel Award serves as global recognition for our entire team of planners, event designers, transportation logistics staff and everyone who contributes to our ability to successfully stage world class conferences and events for the thousands of guests who visit our shores,” she said.

“Our weddings have been featured in international magazines over the years, but the full scope of our work embodies conference planning, product launches, corporate incentive travel programs and cultural events. As a wholly-owned Bahamian destination management and special events company, it is an incredible feeling to be acknowledged as the best DMC in our country.”

Island Destination Services, whose office is on East Bay Street, beat five other companies in the category of destination management.
