Listings in Tour Operators & Wholesalers
A tour operator is a company that plans and arranges trips for travelers or travel agents. They take care of transportation, accommodation, activities, and more. Often, the tour operator functions as a wholesaler, and they buy travel products in bulk at discounted rates and sell them as packages. Some tour operators even own airlines or hotels. Depending on the business model, they may fall into different categories such as outbound, inbound, domestic, or ground tour operators. Outbound tour operators organize trips to international destinations, while inbound tour operators handle arrangements for tourists coming from abroad. Domestic tour operators arrange tours within a country, and ground tour operators work with travelers on behalf of foreign operators.
