Tour Wholesaler is a company that usually creates and certainly markets inclusive tours and independent tours for sale through Travel agents. Often used interchangeably with Tour operator, but several distinctions might be drawn: (1) A wholesaler presumably sells nothing at retail; a tour operator often does both; (2) A wholesaler does not always create his own products; a tour operator virtually always does; (3) a wholesaler is less inclined than a tour operator to perform local services. Often these distinctions are not made because many travel companies perform any or all of the functions of travel agent, tour operator and wholesaler.Other definition:
Tour Wholesaler is an individual or company that sells tour packages and tour product to travel agents. Tour wholesalers usually receive a 20\% discount from accommodations, transportation companies and attractions and pass on a 10 to 15\% discount to the retail agent.
