DESTINATION

Milan is undergoing a period of
great transformation and today
visiting tourists are encouraged
to visit the pleasure-seeking
atmosphere of its society
nightlife, the poetry of
certain views, its art-nouveau
palazzos and windows, its little
architectural jewels which can
be discovered in every corner
of the city.
Padraic Gilligan, managing
director of Ovation Global DMC,
believes that DMCs create
destination experiences that,
ultimately, provide a return on
objectives and deliver business
results. He says that for the
DMC the destination becomes
the raw material out of which
they manufacture a tangible
business solution.
