Ovation Global DMC is continuing its expansion with three new locations in Latin America. The new offices will provide destination management services in Costa Rica, Ecuador and Guatemala.

From 1 December, Ovation services will be provided by strategic partner companies Travel Excellence/ TE Incentives in Costa Rica; SURTREK in Ecuador and KAKAW & Sapphire in Guatemala. Ovation already operates wholly owned offices in Argentina and Brazil.

"Our colleagues in Argentina and Brazil have achieved great success in securing significant conference mandates across Latin America," said Patrick Delaney, managing director of Ovation. "With ongoing economic expansion throughout the region and the hosting of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympics, the meetings and events industry will continue to be positively impacted."

Ovation has also confirmed a new strategic partner in Malta - EC Meetings replaces Unconventional Malta as Ovation’s Maltese partner, due to the DMC’s founder, Fiona Captur, retiring.
