Q. How do DMCs make money?
DMCs earn their revenues from mark-ups, which PGI’s Chris Lee says are typically between 15 and 30 percent over the DMC’s costs. That is why Epton and other DMC executives feel the need to educate planners about the “soft costs” included in DMC fees and how little of the markup is profit (Epton estimates four percent).

Travel or tourist agencies specialize in transport and accommodation packages that may include tours or excursions offered by the tour operators. DMCs, on the other hand, offer a much wider scope of travel products.
