Questions and answers

What does LMDV Agency do?

LMDV Agency is a Paris-based tourism representation and marketing agency. We represent destinations, DMCs, hotels, cruise and rail brands and attractions to European tour operators, travel agents and journalists. Sales representation, trade marketing, PR, content, training and reporting are run by one team.

Which markets do you cover?

France is our home market. We also cover Benelux, Germany and Italy, and work with partners in Spanish-speaking markets.

Who do you work with?

Tourism boards and DMOs, DMCs, hotels and resorts, cruise and rail companies, attractions and experiences, and luxury and lifestyle travel brands that want more business from the European travel trade and European travellers.

How is LMDV different from large global representation networks?

We work only with tourism brands growing in France and Europe. The senior people you meet on the first call run your account, trade and press work follow one plan, and every client gets the same monthly report on meetings, leads, coverage and return.

How does working with LMDV start?

With a 30-minute call. If there is a fit, we write a 90-day plan with targets, then run the meetings, campaigns and press work, with a short weekly update and a monthly report.

Can we hire you for a single project?

Yes. Sales missions and roadshows, trade fair appointments, co-branded campaigns, agent training, market research, press trips and MICE introductions can each be booked as a one-off project.

How much does it cost?

Starter starts at €2,500 per month, Growth at €4,500 and Market Leader at €7,500, excluding VAT. All paid activity and business expenses are add-ons: media buying and paid campaigns, trade fair stands, travel, press trip costs, printing and production. Each one is quoted and approved by you before anything is spent. Starter and Growth run for a minimum of 6 months; Market Leader is a 12-month plan.

Which languages do you work in?

French and English, with German, Dutch and Spanish covered by our team and partners.

Can you take over from our current agency?

Yes. We review your accounts and open leads, introduce ourselves to your key partners and deliver a first 90-day plan, so nothing in progress is lost.

Most brands we talk to already know their European sales could do more. Let’s start there.
