1. About IMC Tourism Club

IMC Tourism Club is a global B2B membership network for tourism industry professionals, operated by IMC Group, based in London, United Kingdom. The club connects destination management companies (DMCs), hotels, travel agencies, airlines, MICE operators, and other tourism businesses through a verified partner directory, international exhibitions, and enterprise technology services.

References to "IMC", "we", "us", or "our" in these terms refer to IMC Group. References to "you" or "member" refer to the company or individual holding or applying for membership.


2. Membership Eligibility

Membership is open to registered businesses operating in the tourism and travel industry. Individual consumer memberships are not offered. By applying, you confirm that:

  • You are applying on behalf of a legally registered business entity
  • You have authority to bind that business to these terms
  • Your business operates within the tourism, travel, hospitality, MICE, or related sectors
  • All information provided in your application is accurate and complete

IMC Tourism Club reserves the right to refuse membership to any applicant at its sole discretion, without being required to provide reasons.


3. Application Process

All membership applications are subject to manual review by the IMC team. The process is:

  1. Submit the online application form at /membership
  2. Our team reviews the application within 3–5 business days
  3. If approved, an invoice is issued for the applicable membership package
  4. Upon receipt of payment, your profile is activated in the directory and portal access is granted

Submission of an application does not constitute acceptance. Membership begins only upon payment and activation confirmation from IMC.


4. Membership Fees & Renewal

Membership fees are published on the Membership page and vary by package tier. All fees are stated in USD and are due annually in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing.

  • Payment: Invoices are payable within 14 days of issue. Unpaid invoices after 30 days may result in suspension of directory listing and portal access.
  • Renewal: Membership renews annually. You will receive a renewal notice at least 30 days before your expiry date. Failure to renew results in automatic deactivation of your profile.
  • Refunds: Membership fees are non-refundable once your profile has been activated, except where required by applicable law.
  • Price changes: We may revise membership fees with at least 30 days' notice before your renewal date.

6. Directory Listing & Contact Data

  • You must not scrape, copy, export, or redistribute the directory or any part of it
  • You must not use automated tools, bots, or scripts to access the directory

Breach of these terms regarding contact data will result in immediate membership termination without refund.


7. Member Portal

Access to the IMC member portal is granted upon activation of a paid membership. Portal access may include:

  • Viewing full contact details of directory members (subject to monthly quotas per package tier)
  • Editing your company profile and uploading media
  • Accessing your membership status, package details, and renewal information

IMC reserves the right to impose or adjust contact view quotas at any time to protect the integrity of the directory. Portal features may vary by membership package.


8. Technology Services

Eligible members may access discounted technology tools through IMC Travel Technologies, powered by OpsMind Technologies Ltd (a UK-registered technology company). These include booking engines, CRM systems, WhatsApp automation, AI sales agents, and digital marketing tools.

  • Technology services are provided directly by OpsMind Technologies Ltd under their own service agreement and terms
  • IMC acts as an introducer only and is not a party to any technology service contract between you and OpsMind
  • Discounts and available services are subject to change with reasonable notice
  • Availability of specific tools depends on your membership package tier

9. Events & Exhibitions

Members receive invitations to participate in IMC-organised pavilions and networking events at international exhibitions including WTM London, ITB Berlin, and Arabian Travel Market. The following terms apply:

  • Event invitations are distributed at IMC's discretion and availability; an invitation does not guarantee participation
  • Participation fees (stand space, travel, accommodation) are separate from membership fees unless explicitly stated
  • Cancellation of confirmed event participation may be subject to cancellation charges imposed by the exhibition organiser
  • IMC is not liable for any costs incurred by members in connection with events that are cancelled or rescheduled by third-party organisers
  • Members attending events are responsible for complying with the rules and regulations of the relevant venue and organiser

10. Intellectual Property

All content on the IMC Tourism Club website — including logos, text, graphics, page layouts, and software — is the intellectual property of IMC Group or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other applicable laws.

  • You may not reproduce, republish, or distribute any IMC content without prior written consent
  • By uploading your company logo or other materials to your profile, you grant IMC a non-exclusive licence to display that content on the platform and in promotional materials related to IMC Tourism Club
  • You retain ownership of all content you upload and are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to use it

11. Limitation of Liability

IMC Tourism Club operates as a networking and introduction platform. We do not:

  • Verify the quality of services provided by member companies beyond basic eligibility screening
  • Guarantee that any business connection made through the platform will result in a successful commercial outcome
  • Accept liability for any loss, damage, or dispute arising from transactions or arrangements made between members

To the fullest extent permitted by law, IMC's total liability to you for any claim arising from your membership shall not exceed the membership fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other matter that cannot be excluded by law.


12. Termination & Suspension

IMC may suspend or terminate your membership immediately and without refund if you:

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our services or applicable law. We will notify active members of material changes by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of your membership after that date constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The current version is always available at imctourism.com/terms.
