Perspectives at the Orinoco's Ecology Crossroads

One of the purposes of our website is to categorize and disambiguate businesses so that we can make referrals to them, serve tourists good information and accommodate visitors that travel to Puerto Carreño. When we arrived in 2023 the local people were confused until they started learning more about tourism and the reasons travelers come to visit their city, now some are talking about installing a golf course and water park.

Ending the Confusion (Operators are Agents not Agencies or Hotels)

Here is a comprehensive explanation and introduction for all those who are a tour agent, tourist agency, tourism package representatives and travel agencies that disambiguates them from accommodation providers such as hotels, restaurants, attractions, events, venues and tourism councils:

• Travel agents and tourist agencies are businesses that specialize in planning and arranging tours for individuals and groups. They typically work with a variety of suppliers, such as hotels, airlines, and tour operators, to create customized itineraries that meet the needs of their particular clients. They do not have a legal or financial interest in a particular destination, hotel or tourist attraction. 

• Tourism package representatives are employees of tour operators who work with travel agents to sell and promote tour packages. They typically have a deep understanding of the specific tour packages that they are selling and can provide valuable advice to travel agents and their clients.

• Travel agencies are businesses that sell a variety of travel-related products and services, including airline tickets, hotel bookings, and car rentals. They may also offer tour packages or help clients plan custom itineraries.

• Tour agents are individual representatives that promote particular tourist destinations because they have an interest in the business or destination, may be an employee, salesperson or individual shareholder in the destination.

Accommodation providers are businesses that provide lodging for travelers. This includes hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, hostels, and vacation rentals. Accommodation providers may also offer additional services, such as meals, laundry, and transportation.

Other tourism-related businesses include:

• Attractions: These are businesses that offer visitors something to see or do, such as museums, theme parks, and historical sites.

• Events: These are one-time or recurring events that attract visitors, such as festivals, concerts, and sporting events.

• Venues: These are places where events are held, such as concert halls, stadiums, and convention centers.

• Tourism councils: These are organizations that promote tourism in a particular region or country. They typically provide information to visitors, help businesses attract tourists, and advocate for policies that support tourism.

It is important to distinguish between tour agents, tourist agencies, travel agencies, and accommodation providers because they offer different services and have different roles in the tourism industry. Tour agents and tourist agencies are typically more involved in the planning and arrangement of tours, while travel agencies typically sell a wider range of travel-related products and services. Accommodation providers provide lodging for travelers, while other tourism-related businesses offer visitors something to see or do.
