Smailing Tour DMC has been featured in Meetings & Conventions Asia’s 2026 DMC A-List, recognizing the company’s expertise in delivering purposeful MICE experiences across Indonesia.
Smailing Tour DMC is proud to be recognized among the Destination Management Companies featured in Meetings & Conventions Asia’s 2026 DMC A-List, a roundup highlighting DMCs making their mark in Asia’s MICE industry.
Published on September 8, 2026, the annual A-List brings together destination management companies recognized for their resourcefulness, creativity, destination expertise and logistical capabilities in delivering meetings, incentives, conferences and events across Asia
Creating More Than Memorable Events
Established in 1986, Smailing Tour DMC has built decades of experience in destination management and business events in Indonesia. As highlighted by Meetings & Conventions Asia, Smailing Tour DMC focuses on creating purposeful MICE experiences that combine seamless event execution with authentic cultural experiences and strategic outcomes.
For Smailing, a successful event is more than simply bringing people together. It is about creating experiences that connect delegates with the destination while supporting the objectives of each client. From corporate meetings and incentive programmes to large-scale events, the company’s local expertise enables international clients to experience Indonesia through carefully designed programmes, trusted local partnerships and professional on-the-ground execution.
Bringing Indonesia’s Culture to the MICE Experience
One of the strengths highlighted in the M&C Asia feature is Smailing Tour DMC’s ability to create experiences that go beyond conventional tourism. A recent example involved a dinner banquet hosted by the Balinese King and Royal Family at the palace, giving delegates access to cultural experiences and locations that are not typically accessible to the general public.
Experiences such as these demonstrate the value of local destination expertise: transforming an event programme into an authentic connection with Indonesia’s culture, heritage and communities. For corporate and incentive groups, these experiences can become some of the most memorable elements of a programme.
Expanding Indonesia’s Destination Portfolio
Smailing Tour DMC’s destination capabilities have also continued to grow. In 2024, the company expanded its presence to Labuan Bajo, establishing an office in Flores, the gateway to Komodo Island. The expansion strengthens Smailing’s ability to support programmes beyond Indonesia’s traditional MICE destinations and opens opportunities for clients looking to discover emerging destinations through professionally managed experiences.
From Bali and Jakarta to Labuan Bajo and other destinations across the archipelago, Smailing continues to connect international clients with the diversity of Indonesia.
Moving Towards More Sustainable Events
Alongside destination expertise and event execution, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important part of the future of business events. In 2025, Smailing Tour DMC launched its Roadmap Towards Net Zero, which includes initiatives such as reducing single-use plastics and introducing electric vehicles for transportation services.
These initiatives reflect an ongoing effort to consider the environmental impact of MICE operations while continuing to deliver high-quality experiences for clients and delegates.
A Recognition of Local Expertise and Global Standards
Being featured in the 2026 DMC A-List by Meetings & Conventions Asia represents an important recognition of Smailing Tour DMC’s role within Indonesia’s MICE landscape. The recognition also reflects the strength of combining local knowledge with international service expectations — an approach that has been central to Smailing’s journey since 1986.
As Indonesia continues to attract international meetings, incentives and business events, Smailing Tour DMC remains committed to helping clients discover the country through experiences that are professionally executed, culturally meaningful and purpose-driven. From destination knowledge to event execution, Smailing Tour DMC continues to create experiences that connect people, businesses and destinations across Indonesia.
