The Power of Travel and the Birth of DMCFinder
Travel has always been a source of inspiration and discovery, yet surprisingly, only 15% of the world’s population has ever ventured beyond their home country. Even fewer, just 7%, have explored multiple continents. For Jo Joshi, travel is more than just a passion; it is a mission. By the time she turns 60, she aims to have visited 60% of the world’s countries, an ambitious goal she is well on her way to achieving, having already explored 35% since 2022.
Jo’s deep-rooted love for travel is complemented by her extensive background in hospitality and digital marketing. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020, the travel industry came to a standstill. Hotels, tour operators, and travel suppliers around the world suffered tremendous losses, and the industry faced an uncertain future. Rather than standing by, Jo saw an opportunity to support struggling travel businesses by creating a digital platform that would transform the way travel suppliers connect with industry buyers.
Thus, DMCFinder was born, a powerful, tech driven solution designed to bridge the gap between high-quality travel suppliers and travel planners. By leveraging digital marketing and strategic networking, Jo’s vision was to provide destination management companies (DMCs) with the visibility they need to thrive in a competitive market.
A Tech-Driven Disruptor in the B2B Travel Industry
DMCFinder is more than just a marketplace; it is a game-changer in the B2B travel industry. Traditionally, travel planners faced significant challenges when sourcing reliable, high-quality suppliers. Meanwhile, many DMCs, despite offering world-class experiences, struggled to gain global recognition due to limited marketing budgets.
Recognising these inefficiencies, Jo set out to create a platform that would connect suppliers and travel planners seamlessly, ensuring faster, safer, and more efficient transactions. Today, DMCFinder boasts a network of over 6,000 suppliers and 200,000+ travel buyers, facilitating connections in under four hours, a process that previously could take weeks.
With the B2B travel sector valued at $37 billion and projected to double by 2030, Jo’s innovative approach positions DMCFinder at the forefront of industry transformation. By harnessing digital marketing strategies, artificial intelligence, and data-driven insights, the platform offers a smarter, more scalable way to match suppliers with travel professionals worldwide.
