Concept and Types of Tourism

There are five major categories of tour operators that you could come into: inbound tour operators, outbound tour operators, domestic tour operators, receptive tour operators and ground tour operators.

# Inbound Tour Operators

Inbound tour operators are considered experts in the destination and are aware of the best tours and activities in any region. They recommend these excursions to their travel customers, so it is vital that you work with these agents to promote your brands. They would be best qualified to offer reliable, exciting tours that are easy to book.

Inbound tour operators bring visitors to the country as a group or through individual tour packages. They manage all activities in the host country; and the types of tours they curate are for non-residents touring the country. 

# Outbound Tour Operators

Unlike inbound tour operators, outbound tour operators operate inside their own countries to take tourists to other countries. They are tour operators that market their tours for international destinations, either for business or leisure travel.

# Domestic Tour Operators

Domestic tour operators are those who put together and sell inclusive tour packages to domestic travelers. In other words, they are tour operators who provide travel packages and tours within a tourist’s native country.

Domestic tour operators often combine a number of tourist components into an inclusive package that can be offered to travelers within the boundaries of a country.

Domestic tour operators form key partnerships with other tour and activity providers in order to achieve a higher portion of the domestic tourism market.

# Receptive Tour Operators (RTOs)

Receptive Tour Operators (RTOs) offer tourism products to tour operators in other markets (as a business-to - business relationship).

In addition, RTOs offer tourism products, whether offered in a tour package or on their own, to tour operators and/or travel agents. They’re just wholesalers, and they don't sell directly to the consumer.

Another main aspect of RTOs is that they are specialists in the field in which they operate; and they know much more than just hotels and the types of tourism activities offered in the region. As such, RTOs help other tour operators identify things such as hotels, amenities and design itineraries in regions they are not familiar with.

# Ground Tour Operators

Ground tour operators operate on a domestic level. However, they vary from domestic tour operators in that they arrange tours for incoming visitors on behalf of incoming tour operators (and often outbound tour operators).
