BDP
BackBDP is a specialized incoming partner for companies and groups that want professional handling of travel and events in Denmark and Scandinavia. As a local DMC, they work purposefully with tailor-made solutions for international clients who need both creativity and structure in their planning. The focus is particularly on business trips, conferences, incentive trips and meetings, where details and reliability are as important as the experiences that participants take home.
The company is based on Herluf Trolles Gade in Copenhagen and acts as a link between foreign organizers and Nordic suppliers. Customers encounter an office that is organized by segments, so that projects for meetings, congresses and leisure groups are handled by specialized teams. This structure provides a relatively clear process, where the dialogue typically takes place with a permanent contact person who follows the project from the first ideas to the completed event. For many international companies, it is a clear advantage to cooperate with a player who knows both local conditions and international requirements.
BDP works broadly within corporate and group travel and is often described as a full-service partner within business travel and events. They offer assistance with programming, logistics, accommodation, transport, technical solutions and social events, often combined into one comprehensive package. This means that companies can bring planning and coordination together in one place instead of negotiating separately with hotels, restaurants, venues and subcontractors. This integrated approach is particularly appealing to busy project managers who need to minimize the risk of misunderstandings and delays.
One of BDP's strong points is their experience with international business events. According to customer feedback, the office staff's ability to help "in every way possible" and deliver events that subsequently receive positive feedback from participants and clients is highlighted. This type of feedback indicates that BDP is able to translate requirements and wishes into practical solutions, for example when a foreign company needs to organize a major meeting in Copenhagen or a Scandinavian tour for key customers.
As a DMC, BDP has built a network of suppliers that are used to tailor programs to different target groups. It can be anything from classic sightseeing elements combined with exclusive dinners to activity-based incentive programs. It is precisely the combination of logistics, experiences and business content that makes them relevant for companies that want more than just standard packages. Instead, they put together solutions where meetings, professional content and social activities are thought out together, so that participants get both benefit and motivation.
BDP clearly positions itself within the business travel , MICE and group travel segments, and many partners refer to them as a stable Nordic partner. They handle both smaller groups and larger events, and it is especially with complex events that the value of their local knowledge comes into its own. Customers emphasize that the processes are experienced as professional, and that the process from first contact to completion is typically well-structured. For organizers who rarely hold events in Scandinavia, it can be crucial to have this kind of local support.
On the positive side, it is noted that BDP emphasizes personal service and ongoing dialogue. The office is described as welcoming, and employees often work closely with the client’s own event or marketing team. This allows for the program to be adjusted on an ongoing basis if the number of participants or needs change. This flexibility is important when working with international groups, where flight times, budgets or internal priorities can change along the way.
Another strength is BDP's understanding of how travel agency services and event production are interconnected. They not only take care of hotel lists and transfers, but can also help develop content, select venues and coordinate technical equipment for presentations and hybrid meetings. In this way, they function as a partner who considers transport, accommodation and experiences into an overall flow. For many international clients who work with tight schedules and high expectations for quality, this can be crucial for choosing an established player rather than putting together solutions themselves.
However, there are also things that potential customers should be aware of. Publicly available reviews are relatively few, which can make it more difficult to form a complete picture of the company's performance across different types of tasks. The feedback that does exist is very positive, but the scope is limited. For a customer who values many independent reviews, it may be a minus that the online experience base is not as extensive as with some larger international chains.
Another point is that BDP is primarily aimed at business customers, groups and professional organizers. Individual holidaymakers looking for classic package holidays or help with a simple holiday will not necessarily find what they are looking for here. The focus is clearly on projects where there are several participants, a clear purpose and often a business-oriented content. For private customers who want personal holiday advice, a traditional leisure-focused travel agency may therefore be more suitable.
The price level for professional services like those offered by BDP is typically higher than standard online solutions where you book flights and hotels yourself. Here you pay not only for the services themselves, but also for project management, coordination and risk minimization. For smaller companies with tight budgets, this may mean that you have to carefully consider how much value the extra security and time savings actually provide. For larger organizations, where incorrect planning can be costly both financially and in terms of image, the extra security may justify the expense.
BDP works in a field where the demands for sustainability, responsible tourism and transparency are growing. Many companies today demand solutions where CO₂ footprint, local roots and social responsibility are included as criteria. As a Scandinavian player, BDP is well placed to incorporate sustainable choices into their programs, for example by prioritizing public transport, local suppliers and activities with low environmental impact. How consistently this is utilized, however, also depends on the customer's wishes and budget.
For companies looking for a Nordic partner in tourism and business events, BDP offers a combination of local networking, project management and creative program development. The big advantage is that they bring together many functions under one roof, making it easier to keep an overview of both finances, schedule and content. At the same time, as a customer, you should be aware that the solutions are more tailored to professionals and groups than individuals, and that the range of public reviews is not large.
Overall, BDP appears to be a well-established partner for international companies, organizations and agents who want to conduct meetings, conferences or incentive trips in Denmark and Scandinavia. The strengths are experience, personal service and the ability to handle complex events, while the weaknesses are primarily limited visible customer feedback online and a targeting that does not embrace the classic holiday traveler. However, for the right target group, cooperation with BDP can be a solid choice when professional events are to be conducted with local expertise and tight management.
