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.
