Tour operators

Tour operators can be considered the wholesalers of the tourist industry. Their product is the packaged tour. There are two principal kinds of packaged tours, the inclusive tour (IT), usually on the scheduled airlines, and the charter inclusive tour (CIT), usually on chartered, nonscheduled airlines. Packaged tours offer transportation, hotel accommodations, and transfer to and from the airport. The tourist pays a lower price for this package than if he were trying to make all the arrangements on his own. In addition to the basic features, the tour package may also offer meals, entertainment, sightseeing, a rental car, and many other extras.

The tour operator organizes packaged or individual tours by providing rail, plane, car rental, motor coach, ship, hotel accommodation, holiday apartments, itineraries, transfers and brochures.

The typical package that the European tour operators put together consists of the least expensive two-week holiday tour. It was primarily intended for Northern Europeans who wanted a Mediterranean vacation. As the competition among the operators brought prices down, many people who had never traveled before were encouraged to try a trip abroad. Both tourism in general and the tour operating companies themselves expanded very rapidly.

The rapid expansion has resulted in many changes in management and methods of operation for the firms in the business. Some of the tour operators have now been absorbed by conglomerates, the huge modern corporations that engage in many different kinds of business. Others have close ties with particular charter airlines or hotel chains. A few have become involved in resort development.

Travel Agents

Retail travel services are similar to department stores, except that they sell intangible services rather than tangible goods. The retail travel agent sells all kinds of tourist products — transportation, accommodations, sightseeing, and so on — to the general public. The term 'retail' distinguishes him from the tour operator or packager, who can be considered the manufacturer or wholesaler of the tourist industry. However some of the tour operators also operate retail outlets.

The travel agent is an intermediary between clients and principals (tour operators). He works in travel agencies, with tour operators, in the tourist offices of spa and health resorts, in communal tourist offices as well as in tourist information bureaus.

If you want to become a travel agent in one of the EU countries no special school qualifications are compulsory. The training depends on your educational level, therefore your contract of apprenticeship may be for two, two and a half or three years. During your training you will attend the vocational school in special classes for travel agents. Lessons may be given as day release or block release. The final examination of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce certifies the successful conclusion of your training.

As with many other aspects of modern tourism, the growth of the airlines led to a corresponding growth in the number of retail travel agents. The airlines offer inducements to travel agents to handle reservation for them so that the airlines do not have to set up an elaborate network of ticket offices in all the areas from which they draw passengers.

Even where the airlines do have ticket offices, many travelers still prefer to use the services of an agent. The agent of course offers the customer one-stop convenience.
