Launched nearly 2 decades ago, the Ovation Strategic Partner Programme expands our global reach through a trusted network of top-tier partners. It enables us to deliver world-class DMC services in destinations where Ovation Global DMC does not maintain a wholly owned office. This ensures consistent quality, local expertise, and operational excellence worldwide.
Ovation Strategic Partners are carefully selected based on stringent criteria, including a proven industry reputation, operational excellence, strong legacy, health & safety compliance, and the ability to provide insightful destination experiences that go far beyond logistics. Each partner is recognised as a leading DMC in their market, chosen for their capacity to deliver exceptional service with local depth and global standards.
