Group and MICE ground operations, trade only
Travelo DMC operates group movements and MICE programmes across Sri Lanka, Dubai, Thailand and Azerbaijan for travel agents, tour operators and corporate travel planners. We work strictly B2B — your client relationship stays yours, our operations stay invisible behind your brand.
What we operate
Corporate incentives
Reward trips with gala dinners, private venues, themed evenings and activity days. Budget-tiered proposals for 20–200+ pax.
Conferences & meetings
Venue sourcing, AV coordination, breakout rooms, delegate transfers and accommodation blocks near the venue.
Product launches & dealer meets
Venue staging, hospitality desks, airport meet-and-greet at scale, branded transfer fleets.
Leisure group series
Fixed-departure group series with guaranteed hotel allocations and consistent per-departure pricing.
Weddings & social groups
Destination weddings and multi-family celebrations — venue, guest logistics, and vendor coordination.
Educational & special interest
Student groups, photography tours, culinary programmes — specialist guides and adjusted pacing.
Destination strengths for groups
Dubai
The strongest MICE infrastructure in our portfolio — international-standard convention hotels, desert gala venues for up to several hundred guests, and airport handling built for volume. Best for flagship incentives and launches.
Sri Lanka
High-impact incentives at lower cost than the Gulf — beach gala dinners, tea-country experiences, cultural performances and wildlife excursions. Strong value story for budget-conscious corporate planners.
Thailand
Bangkok for conference capacity and city energy; Phuket and Khao Lak for incentive resorts with large event lawns. Mature MICE supply chain with competitive group airfares from most of our source markets.
Azerbaijan
The novelty pick — Baku's modern venues and post-F1 event infrastructure, Gabala mountain resorts for leadership retreats. Halal catering standard throughout, a natural fit for Gulf corporate groups.
