1. Ground Operators/Destination Management Companies

These are frequently referred to as handling agencies, and their primary job is to plan tours for inbound
passengers on behalf of foreign operators. Consider India as an example of a country with a diverse
culture.

The issue occurs when a tour operator promotes beach vacations, wildlife vacations, adventure tours,
and heritage tours at various locations. Therefore, it is the ground operator's responsibility to manage
the incoming travelers during the same season but at various locations and make sure that everything
runs in accordance with the package tours or agreements.

The following functions are performed by ground tours operators:

 Land arrangement
 Contract and Negotiate with other vendors
 Handling of Arrival and departure procedure
 Planning and organizing local package tour
 Escorting the tourists
 Providing market information
 Costing and pricing package tour

Practically speaking, if we examine how travel agencies and tour operators operate in the sector, we
discover that the majority of businesses carry out various types of tasks, including those of retail travel
agencies, wholesale travel agencies, and tour operators.

2. Outbound Tour Operators

International tourists are frequently served by outbound tour providers. In order to make it convenient
for visitors from one country to conveniently visit another, they design tour packages and trips.
Travelers can receive everything they require in one handy location when they book a journey through
an outward tour operator.

They focus around the globe just like Europe is the most popular region for outbound tour operators to
design packages for, other locations like Southeast Asia, South America, and the Middle East are swiftly
gaining appeal with visitors from around the world. Outbound trip providers frequently foresee trends
and are aware of what travelers might anticipate in the future.

To draw visitors from emerging foreign market segments, tour and activity companies should
collaborate with outbound tour operators. Tour and activity providers can get their tours and activities
included in upcoming packages by networking with outbound tour operators and educating them about
the things they offer.
