Destination Management professionals who earn their Destination Management Certified Professional (DMCP) designation demonstrate the highest level of knowledge and commitment to the destination management profession. To earn the DMCP designation, an individual must have significant experience in the field, active involvement in continuing education programs and have passed an exam that covers the body of knowledge of all aspects of destination management. This certification is good for five years. Recertification requires continuing demonstration of active involvement in the destination management community and continuing education in all aspects of destination management.
The DMCP designation is earned by candidates who demonstrate a level of knowledge and performance within the destination management industry. Requirements for the designation include involvement in the DMC industry for a minimum of three years, and a demonstrated professional level of responsibility and accountability in the fulfillment of destination management programs. Candidates must also pass a written exam composed of situational encounters and DMC experiences in the various functions performed during the planning and execution of programs. Only a select group of individuals earn this certification annually.
