Merilen DMC Partner

Scale your local expertise globally.

You know your destination better than anyone. The hard part is reaching the buyers: the international agencies, tour operators and travellers planning from another continent.

We connect your product to them and handle the commercial conversation, so the operational load stays light on your side.

Why partner with Merilen

Global reach

Your experiences distributed to international agencies, tour operators and travellers through the Merilen network.

A partner, not a platform

A named contact and a commercial team who know your product, not an anonymous listing in a marketplace.

Low operational load

You manage your product; we handle distribution, promotion and the commercial conversation.

Demand you cannot reach from home

International travellers and professional buyers actively looking for authentic, expert-led local product, in markets where you have no sales presence of your own.

How we work together

  1. Share your product

    Send us your tours, transfers and experiences with net (TO) rates and the details buyers need.

  2. We connect and distribute

    We agree terms, load your product into our systems, and open it to our international B2B network.

  3. Visibility & promotion

    Your experiences are featured on Merilen Holidays and promoted to international travellers and professional buyers through targeted campaigns, putting your local product in front of audiences you couldn't reach alone.

What we distribute

Tours and excursions, transfers and transport, cultural and culinary experiences, adventure and nature activities, and full local packages: curated experiences that give travellers the authentic, expert-led side of a destination.

We're actively expanding our DMC network across Africa, the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean.

Questions DMCs ask

How does the commercial model work?

You give us net (TO) rates for your tours, transfers and experiences. We apply a markup and sell them through our international B2B network and on Merilen Holidays, our consumer brand. You are not asked for exclusivity, and you keep selling your product wherever else you sell it today.

How much work is this on my side?

Loading your product and agreeing terms is the bulk of it. After that we handle distribution, promotion and the commercial conversation with buyers, and you operate the product as you always have.

Which destinations are you looking for?

We are actively expanding across Africa, the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean. We will still read an enquiry from elsewhere, but those are the markets where we have buyers asking today.
