What is a DMCP?

Within many professions and industries, certification is the outward sign of achieving a knowledge level demonstrating a commitment to excellence in the chosen field. Certification is the outgrowth of recognition by the members of an affinity group that a higher quality of service or product can be attained if there is identification of a core body of knowledge, and testing on that knowledge, to assure the best possible communication between certificate-holder and client.

The members of the Association of Destination Management Executives (ADME) have determined it is incumbent on those who are truly committed to higher standards of excellence to become certified. As the pre-eminent organization for Destination Management Executives, the mission is to increase the professionalism and effectiveness of destination management through member and industry education, establishment of standard ethical practices and raise the level of awareness of the value of destination management to the respective associations, corporations and general public.

THE DESTINATION MANAGEMENT CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM

ADME has established a certification program, the Destination Management Certified Professional (DMCP), in order to create impetus for organizational self-improvement and to stimulate a general raising of standards.

The purpose of the DMCP program is to increase the professionalism within the destination management industry by establishing a level of knowledge and performance necessary for certification; identifying the body of knowledge required; stimulating the art and science of destination management, increasing the value of practitioners to their employers; recognizing and raising industry standards and practices and thereby, ethics; and maximizing the value of the products and services that certified destination management professionals can provide.
