What is a destination management company (DMC)

Often the DMC performs functions that are not known outside of companies that utilize their services. Much of what a DMC does is essentially an aggregate, either bringing together the components of the tour and event management industries, or filling in the gaps, doing the requisite 'leg work' companies do not have the resources to do themselves.

A DMC in this case, truly boils down its acronym, i.e. managing a destination, and making sure that a client is taken care of, from arriving in the airport, to final departure. In some instances, this can also extend to actually planning the events, depending on the capabilities of the DMC. The primary client is either corporate or an event planner/event manager

how important is the size of a DMC when considering who to choose

This is a difficult topic, as many destination management companies are boutique or even one person surrounded by a network of contractors.

Other DMCs are major, national and international companies, that provide benefits by supporting a client in many of the cities in which they typically do business. A large DMC will often still outsource the tours, pickups, transportation, event management, and other activities as needed, and have a staff of sales, administrative, and field employees.
