Our Story

HELLO! WHO ARE WE?
Hello! Destination Management is a destination management company serving meeting planners in many of
the country’s most popular meeting destinations. We are a privately held professional firm with over
200 employees dedicated to service excellence. As such, we do not grant franchises and we are not members
of a multi-company marketing network.
Our cause is to be recognized as the best in the business by our customers, to maintain a positive and
professionally rewarding environment for our employees, and to increase the company’s value for our owners.
Achieving all three is the key to our success.
And, while we’re doing it we like to have fun! When you engage a Hello! Destination Management associate
you will notice their enthusiasm for life and their work. You will also notice their intensity, because it's just more
fun to win and succeed. We love our business, and we believe in the value of meetings and the future of the
meeting industry.

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. They are also shareholders of Mears Transportation Group, an Orlando-based
ground transportation company with over 1,000 vehicles, including luxury sedans, luxury vans, SUVs, taxis,
motor coaches, and shuttle vans. 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. Furthermore, 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
6 combine to make Hello! Destination Management a great formula.
