HPN Global Creates Preferred DMC Partnership with Ovation

South Africa

Scottsdale, Ariz. (August 17, 2011) – Hospitality Performance Network Global (HPNG), the world’s most global site selection and meeting procurement company, announced today they have entered into a partnership with Ovation South Africa, an award winning DMC (Destination Management Company) with offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

As HPNG’s associates around the world book business across borders in unfamiliar destinations, the new formal agreement will allow them to consult with and refer clients to a reputable DMC with the local knowledge. As the two organizations grow, they will mutually benefit from the sharing of information and will focus on finding creative ways to secure business together.

“Ovation South Africa is proud to be the first DMC partner from the Ovation Global network and as a trusted partner in this part of the world, we are committed to delivery at the highest levels, passionately exploring Africa together,” said David Sand, Managing Director of Ovation South Africa.

Kip Horton, President of HPN Global added, “We are excited to know that clients we book into this amazing part of the world will benefit from Ovation South Africa’s vast talent and experience.  Recognized as part of the BRICS, meaning its an area destined to have huge potential in the future, it was critical we found a partner who could not only exceed our client expectations when they visited the area but could also be a driving force for helping us book business from the region into the rest of the world.”

With this formal recognition, HPN Global and Ovation South Africa can now build even better relationships within the industry and ensure good flow of opportunities and growth.
