tour operator


Explanation:
Even though tour operators combine travel experiences for their clients, the words "tour" and "operator" are not combined in English usage.

agree  Marius Feilberg Jacobsen: Although google immediately suggests "tour operator" when searching for "touroperator", the contracted form provides 700.000 more hits. Based on this, and my personal opinion, I'd advise you to use the contracted form.

  -> I might use "touroperator" when communicating with machines and their search engines, but not with humans as in the source context. It doesn't appear in any of my English dictionaries and I've never seen it used before today.
agree  Alice Klingener: Yes, tour operator is definitely written as two words in English. The Google count is misleading because Google breaks up compounds: when you search for "touroperator" you get results for "tour operator" as well.
