I. Concept of a Travel and Tourism Company
Tourism business is the activity of providing products and services to satisfy tourists' needs for sightseeing and leisure. These products can be travel tours, vacation packages, hotel booking services, flight tickets, or consulting and itinerary planning tailored to customers' needs.
A travel and tourism company is an enterprise specializing in organizing and providing travel programs for domestic or outbound tourists, depending on its scope of operation and the granted business license. These companies are typically responsible for designing tours, arranging transportation, accommodation, catering, and sightseeing activities for clients.
