DEFINITION OF A TOUR PACKAGE A tour package comprise two or more tourism services priced together Air Ticket Land Transportation Hotel room Ticket to Attractions or Events Sight Seeing Trips –EXAMPLE: 3 DAY 2 NIGHTS BATAM. RETURN FERRY STAY AT NOVOTEL, Batam. ROUND OF GOLF OR SPA PACKAGE TAXI TO AND FROM FERRY TERMINAL. $200.00

Why People buy Tour Packages? Major reasons for purchasing a tour: Convenience One-stop shopping Can Save Money. Expert Opinions. No Hassles. Travel Agents are primarily sellers of tour packages

TOUR OPERATORS/TOUR WHOLESALERS Purchase tourism services in bulk and then mark- up the price and resell in packaged form. –Organise activities around attractions Also known as Wholesale Operator, Wholesale Agent, Tour Packager, Tour Wholesaler. Airlines have subsidiaries involved in tour operations.

Risk for a Tour Operators…. Wholesale Operators bear many financial risks in the tour packaging business – Highly perishable product –Services paid for in advance, and if they are not sold, cannot be “returned” –Mark-up is low, and a commission has to be paid to the Travel Retail Level

TRAVEL AGENTS Travel agencies are like the “department stores” of the travel industry. Travel Agent (TAs) perform many functions. Book Airline Tickets Book Hotel Rooms Sell Tour Packages Provide Information Visa and Immigration Services …. Usually paid commission by the hotel, airline.
