A tour operator is a business that typically combines and organizes accommodations, meals, sightseeing and transportation components, in order to create a package tour.

They advertise and produce brochures to promote their products, holidays and itineraries.

Tour operators can sell directly to the public or sell through travel agents or a combination of both.

A travel agency is a private retailer or public service that provides travel and tourism-related services to the general public on behalf of accommodation or travel suppliers to offer different kinds of travelling packages for each destination.

Travel agencies can provide outdoor recreation, arranging logistics for luggage and medical items delivery for travellers upon request, public transport timetables, car rentals, and bureau de change services.

Travel agencies can also serve as general sales agents for airlines that do not have offices in a specific region.

A travel agency's main function is to act as an agent, selling travel products and services on behalf of a supplier.

They are also called Travel Advisors.

They do not keep inventory in-hand unless they have pre-booked hotel rooms or cabins on a cruise ship for a group travel event such as a wedding, honeymoon, or other group event.

Tourism is travel for pleasure, and the commercial activity of providing and supporting such travel.

The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure and not less than 24 hours, business and other purposes".

Tourism can be domestic (within the traveller's own country) or international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments.

A holiday is a day or other period of time set aside for festivals or recreation.

Public holidays are set by public authorities and vary by state or region.

Religious holidays are set by religious organisations for their members and are often also observed as public holidays in religious majority countries.

Some religious holidays, such as Christmas, have become secularised by part or all of those who observe them.

In addition to secularisation, many holidays have become commercialised due to the growth of industry.
