Prices are charged in Rack rates to the public on which operators normally get a commission of between 10 and 15%. We charge rack rates as well. Some operators get STO rates and then mark up what they can get away with. For example; consumers on packaged tours to South Africa are paying 12,1% over and above the rack rates due to margins imposed along the value chain by operators and travel agents. This was yet another far-reaching and interesting finding uncovered by Monitor, the company hired to conduct tourism research in core tourism markets around the world for SA Tourism (SAT).

Flights
 This is normally the most expensive. A travel agent from Oz told me very recently that although the flights from Oz are about double than to Europe, the cost of everything is half. And she just loved SA. In general flights out of SA are cheaper than flights into SA. Singles are normally more expensive than returns.
