Authentic local knowledge — not an algorithm

Our DMC partners are locally based, locally connected and genuinely passionate about their destination. They know the restaurant that is not in any guidebook, the viewpoint that most visitors never find, the cultural experience that money alone cannot buy. This authentic insider knowledge is what transforms a good holiday into an extraordinary one — and what keeps your clients coming back to you rather than booking online.

Exclusive leisure travel DMC access for your clients

Our DMC partners have relationships and access that no amount of online searching can replicate — private guided visits, after-hours access to extraordinary venues, exclusive experiences arranged specifically for your clients and preferential rates at the finest hotels in every destination. This exclusive access is your competitive advantage as a leisure agent.

Personal service — from enquiry to return

Every FIT program arranged through our DMC partners is handled personally — not processed through an automated system. Your clients' specific interests, preferences and requirements are understood and reflected in every element of their program. That personal attention is what creates the loyalty that brings clients back to you year after year.

Complete ground handling accountability

Airport arrivals, private transfers, hotel check-in, guided excursions, restaurant reservations, activity bookings and 24-hour in-destination support — every element of your clients' ground arrangements managed by a single accountable local team. One number to call if anything needs attention. Complete peace of mind for you and your clients.

Full-service leisure travel DMC management

Our DMC partners cover every element of your clients' leisure journey — from airport arrival to final departure.

Why agents choose Body and Soul International — authentic local knowledge, exclusive access and personal service

Ground Handling & Airport Transfers

Accommodation & Hotel Selection

From landmark five-star properties and boutique design hotels to authentic local guesthouses and extraordinary private villas — our DMC partners have preferred relationships with the finest accommodation options in every destination, with preferential rates simply not available through public booking channels.

Guided Experiences & Excursions

Private guided tours,  half-day excursions, full-day cultural immersions and multi-day adventure programs — each one designed around your clients' specific interests, pace and preferences. Expert local guides who bring each destination to life in a way no audio guide ever could.

Restaurant Reservations & Culinary Experiences

Access to the finest restaurants in every destination — including tables at fully booked venues — combined with extraordinary culinary experiences like private cooking classes, market tours with local chefs and exclusive tastings at wineries, distilleries and artisan producers.

Special Interest & Bespoke Programs

Wildlife and nature experiences, art and architecture tours, culinary journeys, wine and gastronomy programs, wellness and spa retreats, adventure and active travel — bespoke FIT programs built entirely around your clients' specific passions and interests.

24-Hour In-Destination Support

A local contact available around the clock throughout your clients' stay — for restaurant recommendations, last-minute changes, emergency assistance or simply insider advice on what to do tomorrow. The personal concierge service that online booking platforms can never provide.

Frequently asked questions about leisure travel DMC programs

How does Body and Soul International help outbound leisure agents and FIT operators?

Body and Soul International connects outbound leisure agents and FIT operators with 70+ hand-selected, quality-assured DMC partners across 110+ destinations worldwide — completely free of charge. We match your clients' requirements to the right local DMC partner, facilitate the initial connection and support you throughout the planning process. Our DMC partners provide authentic local knowledge, exclusive access and personal ground handling services that online booking platforms simply cannot replicate. We have been connecting leisure travel professionals with the world's finest local partners since 2000.

What is the difference between a DMC and a tour operator for leisure travel?

A destination management company is a locally based expert who manages ground arrangements within a specific destination — transfers, accommodation, guided experiences, restaurant reservations and in-destination support. Unlike a tour operator who packages and sells travel from the origin country, a DMC is on the ground in the destination itself — with genuine local knowledge, supplier relationships and accountability that no origin-based operator can replicate. For outbound leisure agents, working with a local DMC partner through Body and Soul International gives your clients access to authentic local expertise and exclusive experiences that transform a standard holiday into an extraordinary journey.

Can Body and Soul International DMCs handle fully bespoke FIT programs?

Yes — bespoke FIT program design is one of the core strengths of our DMC partner network. Every FIT programme is built entirely from scratch around your clients' specific interests, travel style, pace and budget. Whether your client is a passionate wine lover who wants private access to the finest estates in the Douro Valley, an adventure traveller seeking a private Northern Lights expedition in Arctic Norway or a cultural enthusiast wanting private guided access to the hidden corners of Lisbon — our DMC partners design every element specifically around them. Nothing templated, nothing recycled, nothing that could have been booked online.

Which leisure destinations does Body and Soul International cover?

Body and Soul International covers 110+ leisure destinations worldwide through 70+ locally based DMC partners across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and the USA. Among our most popular leisure destinations are  Brazil, Peru, United Kingdom, Montenegro, Jordan, Scandinavia— but our network extends to extraordinary and less obvious destinations across every continent. Use our DMC search tool to find the right partner for your clients' specific destination — or contact our team directly for a personal recommendation.

How do Body and Soul International DMC partners add value for high-end leisure clients?

For high-end leisure clients, our DMC partners deliver four things that justify the investment completely. First, exclusive access — private guided visits to venues not open to the public, preferential tables at fully booked restaurants and experiences that cannot be arranged independently. Second, insider knowledge — recommendations and arrangements that reflect genuine local expertise rather than generic guidebook suggestions. Third, personal service — a local contact who knows your clients by name and anticipates their needs throughout their stay. Fourth, complete peace of mind — 24-hour in-destination support meaning that if anything needs attention, there is always someone locally available to handle it immediately. For clients who expect the very best, these four qualities are not optional extras — they are the difference between a good holiday and an extraordinary one.

How much does it cost to use Body and Soul International as a leisure agent?

Our service is completely free of charge for outbound leisure agents and FIT operators. Body and Soul International is funded by our DMC network partners — not by the agents who use us. There are no hidden fees, no commissions charged to you and no obligations. You get access to 70+ quality-assured DMC partners across 110+ destinations and personal support from our experienced team — all at zero cost. The DMC partner you work with will quote directly for your clients' ground arrangements — our role is to make the right connection and support the process, completely free.

Can Body and Soul International DMCs handle small groups and private travel as well as larger leisure groups?

Absolutely — our DMC partners work across the full spectrum of leisure travel, from individual FIT travellers and honeymooners to small private groups of 2-20 and larger leisure groups of 50+. Many of our most valued leisure programs are for individual or small group FIT clients who want a completely personalised, privately guided experience in their chosen destination. Whether your client is travelling alone, as a couple, as a family or as a small group of friends — our DMC partners design and deliver programmes that feel genuinely personal and genuinely extraordinary at every scale.
