Summary: Tour operations focuses on providing and operating the vacation of customers by booking, contracting and packaging different components of the tour. This involves extensive management of transportation, hotel, guides, meals, tours and flights. A travel agency deals with administering and selling tour packages from different tour operators. Their primary responsibility is to select the most appropriate package according to the client’s needs. The key difference between a travel agency and a tour operator is that while the former specializes in a variety of destinations, the latter focuses on a select concentration of destinations. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of travel agency and tour operations. It picks up individual branches and explains their need and contribution in the context of a growing economy. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
