Tour Operators

​​​​​​​From Erik
According to the Unites States Tour Operators Association, a "tour operator" is a company that specializes in assembling and offering vacation "packages" with multiple elements including (but not limited to) air, ground transport, destination guides, hotels and dining options. Groups follow a set itinerary to help them get the most out of their vacation. A group tour is usually offered and booked through a travel agent.
