Italy: number of tour operators in 2016, by region
A tour operator typically combines tour and travel components to create a package holiday. The most common example of a tour operator's product would be a flight on a charter airline plus a transfer from the airport to a hotel and the services of a local representative, all for one price. Niche tour operators may specialize in destinations, e.g. Italy, activities and experiences, e.g. skiing, or a combination thereof.
