Despite the long existence of several cutting-edge DMCs around the world, not so long ago, the tour itineraries offered in Latin America were still simple and devoid of charm, meaningful experiences and emotions. In 2007 we realized that the advancement of new technologies and the growth of international flights to far-away destinations would open up enormous opportunities for travelers from Latin America. These new opportunities would also require travel agents and MICE operators to offer elaborate and customized products to new and highly demanding audiences.
Avant Garde is the result of those opportunities and seventeen years of tireless work and research on the Latin American tourism market. We traveled the planet searching for destination management companies (DMCs) who understood our new scenario and were willing to explore new paths. We collected ideas and experiences, made friends, and unhurriedly created the most important network of international DMCs in Latin America, operating itineraries in more than 50 countries on four continents.
The construction of our DMC network was based on the quality of our partners’ services, their financial strength, their ability to adapt to the taste of our local travelers, and their sustainable posture while developing tourism. Our foreign DMC partners are our family. They are responsible for performing the most complex tasks requested by our network of agencies and operators in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico. They have operated more than 1000 incentive travel groups in a decade from our collaboration, adding to countless leisure operations for groups and individual travelers. In a highly focused online market, Avant Garde has been proposing to attract travelers through personalized services, customized experiences, and the intensive training of travel distributors.
We help travel companies develop business with DMCs on four continents, delivering superior results with the highest level of quality and total integrity, always aligned with our 6 basic working principles:
