Different concepts:

1. Tour operator: refers to a travel agency whose main business is the combination and wholesale of package tour products and also engaged in the retail business of tour products.

2. Tourism wholesalers refer to those whose main business is organizing and wholesaling tour groups.

Different characteristics:

1. Tourism operators: Tourism operators predict the development trend of tourism market and tourism product demand through the investigation of tourists' tourism demand and hobby consumption level, design and combine products that meet the market demand, and sell them in the tourism market through travel agencies.

2. Tourism wholesalers: sign agreements with hotels, transportation departments, tourist attractions and other departments involved in package tourism, purchase these services in advance, and then design unique package tourism products according to the different needs and consumption levels of tourists, and sell them in the tourism market through tourism retailers.

As the direct customers of travel wholesalers are travel retailers, they are directly guided by the needs of retailers and buy a large number of products of travel producers, such as sightseeing tickets for scenic spots, seat tickets for travel vehicles for a certain period of time, rooms in tourist hotels, catering products and so on. According to the needs of retailers, enjoy bulk discounts.

Then they are combined into packaged tourism products at various times and destinations, sold to tourism retailers at a certain batch and wholesale price, and then resold by retailers to final consumers (tourists). Some travel wholesalers are very powerful, and their sales networks are all over the world. Some travel wholesalers are small in scale, and only deal in special tourism products in specific tourism markets, such as study tours and sports tours, with fewer outlets.
