Destination Management Services is a family owned and run company founded by one of the pillars of the industry in Mexico, Jorge Alvarez. His legacy has continued well over his passing and the same values and service level are upheld to this day. Therefore, we understand that the most important asset we have is the people who you work with; most of our team has been working with us for over 20 years and we have clients that have been with us for at least that long. Here are our key players.
Karen Alvarez, President and Head of the Special Interest Division:
Karen was born in Canada and was married to Jorge until his passing. She is now a proud Mexican with over 35 years experience in the tourism industry, she is one of the foremost experts in international pilgrimages in Mexico and has an outstanding knowledge of the country. She excels at getting what no other provider can and producing some of the most spectacular and memorable itineraries for high demanding clientele. If you need something unique for a select group of travelers, Karen is the one to talk to!
Eric Alvarez, Director of the MICE Division:
Eric is the youngest son of Jorge and he has been with the company for ten years, five of which, working closely - and learning - from Jorge. His drive, professionalism, easy smile and creativity have made him one of the most respected professionals in the Corporate Travel industry. Presently, he is the travel consultant for "Grupo Acir", one of the largest National news radio groups in Mexico. He has been on national radio many times and has even held a weekly segment of "quaint secrets in Mexico", where he suggests little know destinations and travel ideas to their Mexican audience.
