Within the travel industry the term “Broker” is used to mean a company that buys or has access to a high volume of accommodation places. These are sold onto tour operators, tour organisers etc. The term “flight consolidator” is a company that buys a high volume of flights from one supplier or a high volume of services across many suppliers. These are then sold onto tour operators, tour organisers etc.
Becoming a broker or flight consolidator requires the network of service providers (where breadth of services is being sought) or a network of tour operators where the broker is buying a large number of services from one supplier and selling them on to tour operators in smaller numbers. It will be an option as a start up business.
