TEXT 14

Tour operators can be considered the wholesalers of the industry. Their product, which is a service, is the packaged tour. Packaged tours offer transportation, hotel accommodations and transfer to and from the airport. The tourist pays a lower price for this package than if he were trying to make all the arrangements on his own. In addition to the basic features, the tour package may also offer meals, entertainment, sightseeing, a rental car and many other extras. The first tour in the modern sense was put together by Thomas Cook in 1841. Cook was soon offering tours all over the world, and the idea gained acceptance very quickly not only in England but also in other European countries and in the United States. The firm of Thomas Cook and Sons has remained a major force in the travel industry, despite the number of changes in ownership.
