Travel Agents and Tour Operators

[Adriana Gallegos]

I have a couple questions to better understand how travel agents and tour operators work:

If you're an independent travel agent, not a licensed one, how do you go about working with tour operators, airlines, and hotels?

When planning a trip for someone, do you book their airfare and hotel?

Do you work out deals with certain hotels and airlines?

When planning out a tailored trip with workshops and certain tour guides, how much do you pay each person involved with the trip?

If you're not a licensed travel agent, how do you go about promoting your business of organizing trips for others?

What's the relationship like with tour operators, airlines, and hotels?

It Actually depends on the policies in your country, but all i know that Tour Operators, Airlines and Hotels, its all about getting the clients for them and nothing about licence.

You Just have to have convincing tactics to your clients like offering the service at a much lower cost, and a convincing approach. You can write out contracts of terms and condition for a few of them who might not be very legalistic.

Me personally am a Tour operator in Uganda and would very much welcome you to work with you, you can in box me if you are interested.

Many of us work with a "HOST" Agency.  The agency helps us with Marketing and Training and staying up to speed with what's going on in the industry.  In my case, I was an Airline Captain for 30 years and learned about Travel from that.  I now specialize in Panama and enjoy not only helping people travel there - but traveling there my self.  I someone desires infomation on an area I am not familiar with, I have sufficient contacts to pass them on to that can guide them.  The "Host" also has the connections with the airlines so that booking is easy and secure.  Let me know if I can assist you further.

you always can find deals for someone even if you are not a travel agent

all big website give secret/direct discounts, hotels or apartments provide net prices or lower prices if you email them directly

airlines - - more difficult but there are always direct contracts can be found through agents - like travelpapa.com - their prices are lower and anyone i know plus they pay commission

we own apartments - and even the price printed 110 - i can lower it to 90 and more if a request is sent
