The 2026 DMC A-list: Part 2

By popular demand, M&C Asia has brought back our roundup of Asia’s Destination Management Companies (DMC) that have made a name for themselves in the MICE world with their resourcefulness, creativity, destination and logistical expertise.

Here’s Part 2 of the 2026 power list:

MICE Magnet Asia

Year established 2024
Countries of operation Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, South Korea and Vietnam

Since its recent inception, MICE Magnet Asia delivers more than 200 events a year, including meetings for up to 1,600 attendees, incentive programmes for up to 3,000 attendees, and ground management for conferences and conventions. While relatively young, the DMC is backed by decades of industry experience through founder Jeff Sutthiporn Fongmool and a team of certified CIS and SEPC professionals, known for their creative solutions, personalised service and premium event experiences.

CDM

Year established 1988
Country of operation Thailand

Thailand-based CDM specialises in MICE and bespoke travel. Founded by industry veteran Sumate Sudasnam in 1988 as a DMC, it expanded into a full-service PCO in 1994 after managing two major international conventions for the Thai government. Today, under executive director Patranuch Sudasna, CDM leverages its deep local knowledge and strong stakeholder relationships to deliver distinctive events. When a client recently sought to hold a gala dinner at the Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya, the team worked closely with venue custodians to ensure the evening respected the spirit of the site while delivering the wow factor for the incentive programme.

Asian Trails

Year established 1999
Countries of operation Cambodia, China & Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam

With operations in ten countries, Asian Trails provides leisure and MICE services, including transfers, accommodation and responsible tourism experiences. In recent years, the Bangkok-based company opened offices in Sabah (2024) and Lombok (2026) to support niche incentive movements. Founded by chairman Luzi Matzig and CEO Laurent Kuenzle, Asian Trails continues to be a trusted partner for large-scale incentives. In 2025, it handled a 2,400-pax event in Bangkok for a Spanish incentive organiser and a 2,000-pax trip in Vietnam for an Indian company. It partnered the same Indian company this year for an incentive programme in Thailand for some 6,000 participants.

Backed by more than 15 years of experience and over 3,000 successfully managed groups, its multilingual team combines deep local knowledge with creative event design and seamless execution. For instance, for a recent incentive group in central Vietnam, it recommended replacing a standard gala dinner with a cultural evening on a hidden paddy field, complete with local cultural activities and performances.

JTB Corp.

Countries of operation 153 offices in 37 countries and regions

More recently in the 2020s, it doubled down on its Open Frontier 2035 vision to become a globally connected network.

Its global expertise is evident in a warehouse opening ceremony in India involving Japanese and Indian officials, partners and VIPs. Allowing the client to focus on the event, JTB Singapore and JTB India identified cultural and operational differences. It adapted communication methods to local practices, implemented a detailed operational manual and coordinated with local partners.

Among its recent achievements, MyTaiwanTour was appointed to host the land tour programme for IAPCO’s AM&GA 2025 in Taipei.

The business-events specialist delivers incentive travel, corporate meetings, congresses, gala dinners, product launches, wine events and PR. In 2010, it joined forces with sister company smallWORLD experience, before opening a branch company in Zhuhai, Mainland China in 2015. Today, it prides itself on creativity, innovation, high-end experience delivery – and strong local relationships across Macao, Hong Kong and South China. Bruno Simões, managing director/owner, DOC DMC Macau & Hong Kong, said: “Macao’s best experiences often depend on trust as much as logistics. For example, our long-standing local relationships helped secure access to a World Heritage setting, turning a standard visit into a memorable private experience.”

Travelite DMC Philippines

Year established 2006
Country of operation The Philippines

Since 2006, Travelite DMC Philippines has designed and managed journeys across the country. Its team combines practical local knowledge with careful planning to create leisure, incentive, and MICE programmes that show guests the Philippines beyond its familiar destinations. For a recent incentive programme, for example, Travelite DMC recommended shaping each part of the journey around the distinct character of the destinations. Besides local cuisine, heritage, natural environments, participants also got to interact with community hosts. “This allowed the delegates to experience the country’s diversity through its people and everyday culture, not only through sightseeing,” said Matt Poonin, GM.
