IVI DMC
Incentives And Vacations International Destination Management Company (IVI DMC) was founded in Cancun México in 1986 by Jose Manuel García because he and his associates saw a need for a company specializing in high quality professional services for groups visiting the destination. Their small office In Cancun has grown to become a network of IVI offices throughout the Americas. As a pioneer in the group business in Mexico, IVI was the first to feature staff members in uniform to make it easier for clients to recognize them. IVI also led the way in the use of high-tech tools such as computers, fax machines and radio communications.
After two years of success at delivering services to group operations, IVI evaluated what clients needed the most, and assistance that was not yet available to clients. IVI decided it was ready to upgrade its capabilities, and added new services to its growing list of clients. So in 1988, Incentives and Vacations International was became IVI Destination Management, the first full-service DMC in Mexico.
IVI Destination Management has grown significantly since its founding since our founding, and now provides full destination management services from offices at 22 Destinations in 6 Countries. Each IVI Destination Management office is co-owned and independently managed by a strong executive leadership team. IVI feels its business model of co-owned offices is much more likely to meet – or in most cases, exceed – customer expectations. Franchise operators frequently are required to follow inflexible rules that do not contribute to customer satisfaction. In contrast, the talented people who staff IVI’s offices are free to do whatever it takes to produce the results their clients demand.
In brief, our commitment is simple: We Make You Look GREAT!

Our 10 commandments[modifier | modifier le code]
The client cometh first[modifier | modifier le code]
The first of the Ten Commandments announced by Moses said we should give "Love to God above all things." In business terms: "we shall worship our client above everything else".
We shalt not consider anything to be impossible[modifier | modifier le code]
Although miracles may take a little longer, we shall do our best to deliver everything a client wants. And often even more.
We shalt honor (fulfill) everything we promise[modifier | modifier le code]
If we promise something, we will fulfill the client's expectations.
The client deserveth more than he (or she) expects[modifier | modifier le code]
Because a satisfied client returneth, and recommendeth our services to others.
Our company's reputation dependeth on all of us[modifier | modifier le code]
Every IVI team member assumes a huge responsibility: maintaining our excellent reputation by helping make a client very happy.
We shalt value our own people as we value our clients[modifier | modifier le code]
We loveth our own people, because it is written that only a happy and satisfied associate can satisfy a client.
The client is the sole judge of the quality of our service[modifier | modifier le code]
We knoweth that if just one associate fails, the penalty is severe - the client will go home with an unhappy opinion of us.
We shalt not covet praise unless we strive constantly to earn it[modifier | modifier le code]
ISO 9001-2008 quality standards, does not guarantee perfection. Only hard-working IVI people dedicated to putting smiles on client faces can maintain our annual ISO certification.
We shalt not forget there is always room for improvements[modifier | modifier le code]
We know we must always strive to raise our performance standards to stay ahead of our Competitors.
Our solar system containeth no Superstars[modifier | modifier le code]
We work as a team on more important goals: doing everything possible, every day, to show that we are the only DMC worthy of the client's business.
Our Credo[modifier | modifier le code]
Yes, since 1986, we are those neatly attired people in the turquoise blue and white uniforms. Many people call us "the Smurfs". We are knowledgeable, witty, fun to have around, and beautiful or handsome (as the case may be). We can run faster than Speedy Gonzalez, we can be in two or three different places at once, and willing to do anything legal for our clients. You can find us popping up at airports, historical and archaeological sites, and we may pop up at deluxe resorts, charming hotels, at golf courses or scenic beaches, and of course we frequently appear at the great restaurants in town. We enjoy Smurf teamwork because it's fun, and having fun doing our jobs is our passion. We can do the impossible right away - miracles may take a little longer.
