Founded in 1984 by Gregory Kurdian, CITE, SUNBOUND is Florida and The Bahamas’ oldest and largest Destination Management Company specializing in Meetings, Incentives and Conferences. With offices serving both Florida and The Bahamas, the company is exclusively committed to non-vacation group travel. Services throughout the entire operating area include full ground-program operations, transportation management, professional meet-and-greet staff, activities theme décor and event production. All services are under one umbrella and managed through our unique concept that the Salesperson is the Serviceperson.
SUNBOUND is dedicated to the basics – efficient and professional transportation management, staff and ground services – which form the most essential part of the incentive experience. Professional planning and management of the details; competent, cheerful and knowledgeable staff; state-of-the-art communications, and quality signage continue to be the hallmarks of a Sunbound operation. We clearly understand that ground transportation is the heart of it all and it is that key competency that planners know leads to comfort with all other services.
SUNBOUND is proud to have served in general management roles for major events, including Super Bowl for the National Football League and two Florida Breeder’s Cups, receiving major recognition from these two organizations. SUNBOUND is the only private company to have ever been hired in this capacity for either of these events.
SUNBOUND’s clients are a broad cross section of corporate direct clients and intermediates that have selected SUNBOUND as their preferred supplier. These relationships have been maintained for many years. SUNBOUND is proud to be the recipient of many awards for exceptional performance from these companies, including the 2004 and 2005 Carlson Worldwide Premier Partner Award, the highest recognition that company awards to travel partners.
The Company also provides professional staging and special events management through its Realization Department (theme party, entertainment and business theatre production) utilizing its substantial construction and warehousing facilities in Florida, Nassau and on Grand Bahama Island. Far from simple party planning, Sunbound professionals combine stage and production engineering and construction experience ranging from motion picture and television to Broadway theatre! SUNBOUND uniquely combines décor, virtual reality and “experiential performance” into events that attendees will never forget.
SUNBOUND has matured a full graphics and communications department, even including a sound studio for voice-over and narration that produces virtually all motion and print media in-house.
In-house services are also available to clients for signage, e-mail promotion, pre-trip communications, print materials and welcome videos for transportation, etc.
A variety of specialized wholly-owned subsidiaries includes, among others, THE PURSER’S DESK, which provides commissionable transfers, shore excursions, and pre- and post- cruise hotel packages at a variety of Florida and Bahamas cruise ship destinations to travel agents and their clients through its own interactive website.
SUNBOUND: a name known for decades around the world for professional and reliable services for meetings, incentives and conferences.
