tour operators

Vacation package arrangers

Tour operators are companies that organize and sell travel packages, combining transportation, accommodation, and activities into bundled trips.

They differ from travel agents, who sell others' packages; tour operators create the packages themselves.

We booked through a tour operator specializing in African safaris.

The term appears frequently in travel industry contexts and consumer protection discussions.
