Which code does this activity belong in?

Travel agencies act as intermediaries selling travel, tour, and accommodation services on behalf of suppliers to both individual and business customers. The distinction between travel agencies and tour operators lies in their role: travel agencies sell services created and operated by others, whereas tour operators are primarily engaged in organizing and operating tours themselves. Travel agencies differ from other reservation and ticketing services in that they provide comprehensive travel arrangement advice and booking across multiple service types, rather than handling reservations or ticket sales for a single supplier or service category.
