To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Eco Destination Management Services of Aruba and Curacao<\/strong><\/a> (ECO DMS) created a one-of-a-kind incentive program that truly raised the bar. A year long countdown of special monthly events culminated in a fantastic, hosted experience to thank the company\u2019s top 30 clients for their support.<\/p>\n

Highlights included authentic and cultural experiences such as an extravagant Carnival parade, a cooking class, a painting class with a local artist, an off-road UTV excursion, a luxury snorkel sail and a fun, educational CSR event to give back to the community. The\u00a0event culminated with an awards gala for 350 local and international attendees and government officials, filled with surprises.<\/p>\n

Due to the event’s outstanding success, ECO DMS<\/strong><\/a> was recognized by the Society for Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE) with a Crystal Award for Excellence in Incentive Travel: Latin America & Caribbean at the Crystal Awards Recognition Ceremony held during the SITE Global Conference 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to receive a SITE Crystal Award for the ECO DMS 30th Anniversary celebration. What was originally planned as a one-night event, became a celebration spread out over 12-months,\u201d commented\u00a0Maoreen Every<\/strong>, CIS, CITP, DMCP, Managing Director and COO.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, the 5-day celebration was an extraordinary way to recognize everyone that had made, and continues to make, ECO DMS a success story; all while giving thanks for the past 30 years, as well as embracing the world of possibilities for the next 30 years,\u201d commented Wichita Villacres<\/strong>, CIS, president and CEO.<\/p>\n

Considered the highest honor in the Incentive Travel industry, SITE Crystal Awards recognize creative, practical, and truly memorable incentive programs that not only\u00a0keep employees engaged, but also drive business results and improve a business\u2019 bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Society for Incentive Travel Excellence, it\u2019s only fitting that we have our own reward and recognition program to highlight excellence in incentive travel. The Crystal Awards program is a long-standing SITE tradition, part of our association since 1980 and a hotly contested, much anticipated annual event. It confers the highest honor in our industry to incentive travel professionals who have clearly demonstrated how incentive travel leads to business results,\u201d commented SITE President 2018, Annamaria Ruffini, CIS, CITP, CMP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
