Developed via iterative and effective collaboration, your: itinerary, event, conference, incentive or celebration will be exclusively customized with the seamless sophistication of local know-how.

The Destination Management Company is the love child of Kate Speedy, an Aussie girl who spent many years traveling to all corners of the globe chasing fun, adventure and snow. Now settled in Queenstown New Zealand, Kate retains a strong international network.

Kate’s extensive and varied professional experience covers organized travel, as well as brand, event and project management. She would like to invite you to connect with her at The DMC so she can in turn connect you with your destination.

“Kate is a high energy, creative, lateral thinker who will seek to completely understand issues or projects, their objectives, opportunities and sensitivities. She frequently demonstrates her ability to negotiate and is not fazed by obstacles or issues and is skilled in recognizing and communicating solutions. Kate shines when dealing with people and presenting information, ideas, options and alternatives and, as demonstrated when deciding on promotional material, Kate clearly shows a flare for design. Kate is one of those people who will not only quickly become a trusted associate, but also a friend.”

 The DMC specializes in small group luxury adventure itineraries and bespoke destination celebrations. Focused on seamless travel and events, with emphasis on packing value into unique experiences. With the added level of an on the ground fully hosted travel service you can be assured your mind gets a vacation too.

For each project, a team of high functioning, confident and personable professionals are carefully selected, with the ability to make a connection our most valued attribute.
