Travel agencies and Tour operators

What different areas do tourism professionals cover?

There are three broad categories: production, distribution and incoming.

  • Production is handled by tour operators (TOs), who design and develop packages or personalised trips for their clients.  
  • Distribution refers to selling flights or accommodation. This is done online or in agencies by TOs. These sales can be supplemented with extra add-on services (car hire, insurance, tours, etc.).
  • Finally, incoming agencies are professionals who take care of visitors once they arrive at their destination. They develop sight-seeing packages, day trips and longer stays for travel agency clients. (Source: referentiel.atout-france.fr/secteur/organisation-de-voyages)

Are there any specialist travel agencies and tour operators out there?

Yes, some tourism professionals do specialise in a particular sector. Travel agencies aim to offer their clients as wide a range of destinations as possible. Tour operators and agencies can, however, choose to focus on a narrower segment (cruises, themed trips, club holidays, etc.) or area of expertise (a specific country or continent, for example) if they wish.

What are the benefits of having a tourism professional handle my trip?

A tourism professional will ensure your stay takes place in the very best conditions. In unforeseen circumstances, they will always be on hand to help you out. If you have a particular set of needs, they will be able to offer you the best options to ensure you get the trip you had in mind.
