SORU:

What does a tour operator do?


CEVAP:

Tour operators are the professionals who bring all the elements together to create a holiday. They buy or reserve in advance from airlines, shipping lines, and hoteliers. As they buy hundreds of seats and rooms from these tourism partners, they pay a much lower price than an individual. The tour operator then turns this into individual packages known technically as inclusive tours (ITs). These are marketed to the consumers through travel agents or by other systems. Tour operators sell different types of holidays. The really big operators, the mass market operators, produce low-cost holidays to traditional sea, sun and sand destinations like Spain, Greece or Turkey. Other operators limit their product to customers who want a very specific type of holiday. These specialist operators sell adventure holidays, holidays for single people, holidays for motor-racing fans, and so on. Domestic operators specialize in tours for people who want to spend their holiday in their own country. Incoming tour operators are specialists in providing holiday packages to visitors coming from abroad.
