Colorado Entrepreneur Marks 25-Year Milestone at Destination Services Corporation (DSC)

17 January 2012 – Destination Services Corporation (DSC), an award-winning destination management firm that provides high-impact event planning services to Fortune 500 Corporate and Incentive Groups and national associations, is celebrating its 25th anniversary in business. When Kathy Fort Carty purchased the Vail based company, Colorado was perceived as a remote, winter ski destination with difficult access, and little draw beyond the mountain. Fort Carty saw this as an opportunity, and forged innovative partnerships with the CVB, local hotels, unique venues and the premier local businesses, showcasing the Vail Valley and the Front Range as viable, unique destinations for corporate groups. Today, DSC represents every major Colorado destination, as well as resort areas in Utah and Nevada. The company has offices in Colorado Springs, Denver, Vail/Beaver Creek, Aspen and Lake Tahoe.

DSC built a strong reputation for working with groups and opened offices in response to requests from hotels that rely on a strong DMC partnership such as THE BROADMOOR in Colorado Springs, an office that is run by Kathy’s sister Susan Fort since 1996. Fort Carty’s industry expertise was also sought-out by reputation to serve an 18-month contract in 2010-2011 as President of North America for by Allied/PRA Destination Management, an international event planning firm, helping them establish a stronger foothold on this continent, while giving DSC’s destinations exposure to a worldwide client base.
