Difference Between Travel Agents and Tour Operator

Travel agents sell pre-packaged tours to customers and help customize trips, while tour operators are responsible for arranging transportation, accommodations, and other services for the trips. Tour operators take on greater financial risk than agents but also keep more profits. Agents work with multiple tour operators to assemble packages for clients based on their preferences, while operators focus on specific destinations and provide direct tourism services.
