What is the difference between a Tour Operator and a Travel Agent?
I keep forgetting the difference between a Tour Operator and a Travel Agent! They both have a lot of similarities and the same kinda job, yet I know their are some differences, I just can’t seem to remember them! Pfuit! I’d love a detailed, long description! Please help!!!
A tour operator actually operates tours. A travel agent can only book you on to one. The jobs are not the same at all except that they are both connected with travel.
So think of it like this – a travel agent will have brochures from many different tour operators and be able to help you out, but once you’ve actually booked a trip, you are in the hands of the tour operator.
