FAUS DMC

What FAUS DMC does

FAUS DMC is a Buenos Aires-headquartered destination management company (DMC) that designs and executes corporate incentive travel programs, designed events, corporate meetings, bespoke experiences, and digital/virtual events for enterprise clients. The company operates under the dual brand 'FAUS DMC Argentina – Chile' and serves clients across seven key Argentine destinations — Buenos Aires, Bariloche, Calafate, Ushuaia, Iguazú, Mendoza, and Salta/Jujuy — with each location offering dedicated activity portfolios spanning gastronomy, adventure, cultural, and nature-based experiences. It was formally founded in 1986 by Nuria Faus (with the original project concept dating to 1975) and was recognized in 2024 as Best DMC by AANBA (Buenos Aires Art Nouveau Association).

The business is human-capital and expertise-based rather than technology-based: there is no proprietary platform, API, or SDK, and service delivery hinges on planning, sourcing, contracting, logistics coordination, and on-the-ground event execution. The team of approximately 10–16 people is anchored by President & Founder Nuria Faus, Partner VP Operations Bettina Mazzitelli, Partner VP Sales & Marketing Noelia Benue, and Operation Director Clara Morales Bustamante, supported by roles in finance, program design, content, and project management.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees for event management and design, priced via custom quotes per client program, group size, destination, and scope. The go-to-market is a B2B enterprise field-sales motion targeting corporate clients for incentive and meeting programs, supplemented by a content marketing engine (website blog, email newsletter, Instagram) and direct inbound contact via the firm's website and email. Customer concentration is not publicly disclosed and pricing is not transparently listed.
