The tour operator then turns this into individual packages known technically as inclusive tours (ITs). These are marketed to the consumers through travel agents or by other systems. Tour operators sell different types of holidays. The really big operators, the mass market operators, produce low-cost holidays to traditional sea, sun and sand destinations like Spain, Greece or Turkey. Other operators limit their product to customers who want a very specific type of holiday. These specialist operators sell adventure holidays, holidays for single people, holidays for motor-racing fans, and so on. Domestic operators specialize in tours for people who want to spend their holiday in their own country. Incoming tour operators are specialists in providing holiday packages to visitors coming from abroad.
