Please provide a brief overview of your company’s ownership, philosophy,
core competencies, and strategic partnerships or associated companies.

Ownership - Hello! Destination Management is wholly owned by Paul

S. Mears, Jr. and his two sons, Paul S. Mears III and James B. Mears.
Paul III and Jimmy represent the third generation of Mears working in

the family business serving the hospitality industry. Paul III is the
President of Hello! Destination Management and is responsible for the

everyday success of the organization.

As a family owned business, and one that does not franchise, clients

can count on consistent philosophies, systems and service results.
Further, all stakeholders (clients, employees and suppliers) can count

on a consistent approach rather than violent swings in business
practices to accommodate quarterly earnings pressures from

institutional investors.

Hello! Destination Management is a family business with long
term goals, run by professionals. All ingredients combined make
Hello! Destination Management a great formula.

Philosophy - We believe that the mission of a destination management

professional is to function as a consultant representing the customer to
the market, not to simply sell hospitality services. With no assets such as
a venue or inventory to deploy, our people are only limited by their

knowledge, commitment and enthusiasm. Our people are the
differentiator; they are experienced, competent, and fun. They know

more, work harder, and enjoy it more than anyone else.
