Global Events Partners (GEP), a worldwide partnership of Destination Management Companies (DMC), has furthered its expansion in the European market adding new partners in Belgium, Denmark and Sweden.

Brussels International Travel Service will now represent Belgium and European Network, Ltd. will represent Denmark and Sweden.

Chris White, Chairman & CEO of Global Events Partners, states, “We are very excited to continue our expansion into Belgium and Scandinavia.  Opening a European sales office has really helped us extend our global presence and begin to reach new clients in untapped markets.” 

GEP’s growth in Europe will continue as most of its international partners are in European destinations and in 2004, the top bookings were from European destinations.

Brussels International Travel Service (BITS) replaces CIB Performance as the GEP DMC for Belgium. BITS is recognized as one of the leading DMC companies in Belgium, not only by a number of networks and major suppliers, but also by Brussels International Tourism & Congress, the official tourism authorities of Belgium.

Marc Dans, president, BITS, states that BITS joined GEP because “GEP is known as one of the leading commercial partners for meetings and incentives, not only in the U.S., but in the world.” 

BITS uses the most advanced technologies to quickly and comprehensively respond to their clients and believe that building personal relationships is the key to maintaining a successful business.

As a board member of several industry associations and a former president of Euromic, Mr. Dans and his team bring a breadth of contacts and a wealth of knowledge to the GEP partnership.

European Network, Ltd. joins GEP as the DMC representing the Scandinavian countries, Denmark and Sweden.

Specializing in tailor-made conferences, incentives, corporate events and study programs, European Network, Ltd. credits their creativity, broad network of industry contacts and their detailed knowledge of their destinations to delivering incredible events for their clientele.
