The main object of this thesis is to summarize legal regulation about package tour in czech legal order, define and describe subject of this contractual relationship, define contracting parties and individual rights and duties that are being established at the beginning or during this contractual relationship. Basic concepts linked to the package tour contract as well as the role of travel agency in the whole process are being analysed in this thesis. I also focused on the most important changes connected with passing of the New Civil Code when individual provisions are examined and their significance is explained. Similarly as a legal ground of this contractual type the directive 90/314 EEC is also being examined. Finally, this thesis evaluates whether implementation of this directive to czech legal order has been done correctly and whether czech laws comply with the basic rules this directive is based on. The thesis is composed of nine chapters, each of them dedicated to individual issue. In the introduction I define basic objective of this thesis. The following chapter focuses on the basic definiton, purpose, basic concepts and character of this contractual relationship. In the third most comprehensive chapter I analyse concrete requirements of package tour contract, individual rights and duties...

Nowadays many travelers choose to book their trips via online booking sites instead of visiting physical travel agencies. This has changed the way the physical travel agencies operate their businesses and has forced them to adapt to new strategies in order to stay alive in this new reality of the industry. The comfort of the digitization pushes the world toward internet and online services, which implicitly mean that physical shops has become less important even in tourism industry where potential travelers go to digital platforms to reach out for information as well as to plan and choose their destinations. The aim of our study was to investigate how digitization has affected the way passengers book their package holidays and how it affects physical travel agencies and their businesses. With the help of our method, which consist of interviews and a questionnaire, we were able to collect empirical data for compilation and analyses and thus to draw our final conclusions. / Idag väljer många resenärer att boka sina resor via onlinebokningssidor istället för att besöka fysiska resebyråer. Detta har förändrat resebyråernas sätt att vara som verksamhet och även fått de att tänka ut nya tillvägagångssätt och strategier för att kunna hålla sig aktiva inom den turistiska marknaden. Vi lever i en alltmer digitaliserad värld där det mesta skall göras online, detta har lett till att fysiska verksamheter är mindre märkbara inom sina områden eftersom potentiella resenärer tar sig till digitala plattformar för att både nå ut till information samt för att planera och bestämma sina resmål. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur digitaliseringen har påverkat resenärernas sätt att boka sina paketresor samt hur digitalisering berör fysiska resebyråer och deras verksamheter. Med hjälp av våra två metodval som består av intervjuer och en enkät kunde vi samla vårt empiriska material som sedan sammanställdes och analyserades vilket ledde till våra slutliga slutsatser.

The main objective of this thesis is to propose a products optimization for current Czech touristic clientele in France. Partial aims are to identify visitor segment of Czech clients in France and to define variants of products optimization proposals for selected Czech clients in France. The theoretical part consists of five chapters and deals with international tourism, tour operators, including their services and marketing mix, consumption behaviour of customer on international tourism market, outbound tourism of Czech republic and position of France in international tourism. The practical part covers an analysis of supply and demand and product optimizations proposals for one Czech tour operator. Czech tourists going on Five-day Coach Package tours to Paris were selected as a target segment. There were proposed three variants of product optimizations for this group, based on information gained from an analysis of competitors´offer and a profile of a visitor and his requirements. The optimizations of Paris package tour mainly concerned costs reduction of service providers, quality enhancement of an accommodation and boarding.

旅遊業為我國未來產業發展的重點之一，再加上團體套裝旅遊一直是亞洲國家中最普遍及最受觀迎的旅遊型態之一，我國2009年的團體套裝旅遊比例即佔了35.6%。其中，領隊人員可以說是團體套裝旅遊的重要元素，不僅影響著該次旅遊品質的好壞，領隊也可藉由專業的服務取得旅客的信任，而獲得後續帶團的機會；是以，由於我國過去旅行社設立門檻不高，加上領隊掌握一定旅客數，不少領隊帶槍投靠或自立門戶，造成旅行業良莠不齊、競爭激烈。 因此，本研究欲探討現行旅行社對於領隊的管理模式，運用交易成本理論及4C交換成本理論架構，剖析旅行社、領隊與團體旅遊消費者間三方交換之關係，並對於旅行社提出適當的領隊管理建議，期盼能對於旅行產業的市場紊亂情形有所助益。而由於本研究議題過去缺乏學術研究成果且未被有系統的討論，故採用質性研究及深度訪談做為本論文的研究方法。 研究結果得知，透過訪談資料的整理與分析，歸納出兩種現行的領隊管理模式。管理模式1：旅行社著重於處理與消費者間的4C關係，並設法阻礙領隊與消費者間4C關係的建立，使消費者購買團體旅遊產品是出自於旅行社本身，而非領隊；管理模式2：旅行社與領隊共生共榮，在旅行社與消費者的交換關係方面，旅行社著重於產品的外顯單位效益成本；而在旅行社與領隊的交換關係方面，旅行社運用4C的處理得宜，維繫優秀的領隊，鞏固銷售。 本研究以4C交換成本理論，歸納出兩種領隊管理模式，建議後續研究者可針對旅行社背景，探討何種領隊管理模式對其最有利；另外，針對國內網路時代的盛行，有業者引進國外居家旅遊商業模式H.B.T.A.(Home Based Travel Agents)，類似於本研究所提出的管理模式2，後續研究者也可針對此議題進行深入探討。 / Travel industry will be one of the most promising industries in Taiwan; in addition, Group Package Tour is one of the most popular traveling types in Asian countries. In 2009, the percent of Group Package Tour in Taiwan is highly 35.6%. Especially, Tour leader (or tour escort) is the critical element of Group Package Tour.He (or she) can not only influence on the quality of travel, but also can get customers’ trust and the chances of business by professional service. Therefore, because of the low entry barrier of Travel industry and tour leader holding up some customers, lots of tour leaders job-hop or build up their own business. It makes travel industry highly competitive. For this reason, this study wants to use the Transaction Cost Theory and 4C Exchange Cost Theory to discuss current tour leader’s management model, and analyze the exchange relationship among travel agent, tour leader and Group Package Tour customer. Finally, this study wants to propose management recommendations for travel agents. However, this topic was less discussed in the past, so that this study uses qualitative research and in-depth interview as the research method. According to the research result, this study generalizes two kinds of tour leader’s management model. Model 1: Travel agents focus on the 4C relationship with consumers, and manage to hinder the 4C relationship between tour leader and consumer; Model 2: Travel agents cooperate with tour leader. Between travel agent and consumer, travel agents focus on C1. Between travel agent and tour leader, travel agents focus on the 4C relationship for holding up excellent tour leaders. For future research, this study suggests to discuss what travel agent background can benefit from two kinds of tour leader’s management model, or discuss H.B.T.A. (Home Based Travel Agents) deeply.
