Supplier classification is key to keeping things structured and efficient when managing a tour. In my software, we categorize suppliers based on the type of service they provide.
Here’s a breakdown of what each category means:
✅ Food Supplier – Any provider of meals with a physical location, such as restaurants, catering services, or food halls.
✅ Attraction – Museums, landmarks, guided activities, theme parks—anything that enhances the travel experience.
✅ Lodging – Hotels, hostels, resorts, and any form of accommodation.
✅ Transportation – From private transfers to large coach operators, covering all mobility needs.
✅ Staff – Any human resource involved in delivering the experience, such as tour guides, local representatives, or event coordinators.
✅ DMC (Destination Management Company) – A supplier that bundles multiple services from the above categories, acting as a one-stop provider for tour operators.
Why is this classification important?
✔️ It simplifies pricing, contracts, and operations
✔️ It ensures accurate reporting and cost tracking
✔️ It helps automate tour-building processes
