Which code does this activity belong in?

Tour operators arrange and assemble tours for sale through travel agencies or other intermediaries. This differs from travel agencies, which sell packaged tours and travel services directly to consumers. Tour operators also differ from other travel arrangement services such as ticket offices, reservation services, and convention bureaus, which handle individual bookings and specific travel components rather than assembling complete tour packages.
