PARIS, January 2013 - euromic, the premier international consortium of companies specializing in MICE travel and destination management, announces the induction of two new member destination management companies and the launch of a newly redesigned website.

Founded in 1973, euromic is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. As part of the festivities, the Association has adopted a commemorative logo and unveiled an updated website (www.euromic.com), which is designed to integrate social media and provide an even more appealing and accessible resource to meeting and incentive  rofessionals.

New to euromic are Travel Places of Great Britain and Event Masters in Belgium.
The two DMCs underwent a careful and thorough selection process in order to ensure they met euromic's stringent qualifications before being voted in by the membership at the recent Annual General Meeting in Paris.

"Travel Places London is delighted to have been invited to join the euromic family as DMC partner for London and the United Kingdom. We share with euromic a philosophy of delivering benchmark quality and exceptional value in every facet of destination management, and are excited to become a member at this time of unrivalled interest in London
and the United Kingdom as one of the world's foremost MICE travel destinations," says Gerry Manser of Travel  Places.

Great Britain's exciting and varied cities, beautiful countryside, stunning coastline and historical sites give planners plenty of options when selecting a meeting or incentive destination. On the mainland, Belgium's central location, rich history, delicious food and cultural attractions have been drawing increasing numbers of events.

"We are thrilled to become a part of euromic, as it is such a strong network of quality DMCs," says Bert Knuts, Managing Director of Event Masters. "We are known in Belgium as being one of the most professional and creative agencies and are now looking forward to extending our international business and welcoming new visitors to our great destination."
