English term or phrase: Outbound Tour Operator
Bonjour ! Après diverses recherches, j'ai opté pour l'anglicisme "tour-opérateur"; confirmation? En anglais, l'acronyme "OTO" semble très utilisé; existe-t-il un acronyme utilisé en français pour "tour-opérateur émetteur" ? Très peu de références en général pour émetteur; un spécialiste peut-il mje confirmer ? Merci.

disagree  Daryo: an "agency" is not the same as "tour operator" // there are far far more "agencies" (simple resellers) than "tour operators" (tour organisers / conceptors of tours)

Explanation:
outbound = people going out of (their own) boundaries , say a French tour operator taking French people outside of France;

as opposed to

inbound = people going back to (their own) boundaries i.e. going back to their usual place of residence (or for an agency, dealing with people visiting their "home area")
