Pacific World and ACCESS Destination Services, two of the most recognised destination management and event production companies in the world, announced on 19 March a strategic alliance to offer unparalleled access to more than 80 destinations around the world.

Through this alliance, clients will now be able to partner with ACCESS and Pacific World in planning events virtually anywhere in the world – drawing on the alliance’s 54 offices in 27 countries, manned by a staff of 500 specialists worldwide. Both Pacific World and ACCESS are known to excel at consistently providing extraordinary destination experiences.

"We have been searching for global partners that uphold our standards and share similar values. Pacific World is an established, top-quality DMC with a strong presence across the globe, and we are thrilled to partner with them," said Chris Lee, CEO of ACCESS Destination Services.

"Our goal is to deliver both a consistent, best-in-class experience in worldwide destinations and also customised to each of our clients from all regions of the world. Because ACCESS is also known for excellence, innovation, financial strength and compliance with business ethics, we can think of no better partner for this new integrated DMC model," stated Herve Joseph-Antoine, global managing director of Pacific World.

"This partnership significantly expands our ability to deliver long-term value to our clients and industry partners around the world, as we continue to expand into destinations where clients want us to be," added both Lee and Joseph-Antoine.

Though ACCESS and Pacific World will maintain separate brands, the two companies will jointly expand preferred client relationships and coordinate marketing development.
