Travel agency activities.
Use this mapping when the business arranges travel bookings or agency services, not when it operates transport vehicles directly.
A business operating as a travel agency should examine NIC 791100 under NIC 2025. This is the specific sub-class for travel agency activities. It is distinct from NIC 791200 for tour operator activities and NIC 799000 for other travel-related activities such as reservation services, travel information, independent tourist guides and tourism promotion. The distinction matters because many travel businesses use the same customer-facing words while earning revenue in different ways.
A travel agency typically acts for travellers by arranging or selling travel products and helping customers select and book travel. The exact inventory and supplier relationships can vary, but the business is positioned as an agency rather than as the producer of every underlying transport, accommodation or tour service. Retail and corporate travel agencies can both fall within this general activity.
NIC 791200 separately identifies tour operator activities. A tour operator generally creates or operates tours or packages as its own organised product, while an agency commonly intermediates or sells travel products to the customer. A company can perform both functions, but if both are commercially important, using both activity codes may describe the business more accurately.
NIC 799000 covers other travel-related activities such as reservation services and related activities, provision of travel information, independent tourist guides and tourism promotion. This means a business focused mainly on guiding, tourism promotion or another reservation-related service should not automatically select 791100 just because it operates in the travel industry.
“Travel agency activities arranging and selling travel services to leisure and corporate customers” is more informative than “tourism business”. The description should show whether the enterprise is acting as an agency, operating tours, providing guides or performing another travel service. This helps keep Udyam, incorporation and internal business records aligned.
For a conventional travel agency, 791100 is the principal NIC 2025 code to consider. If the enterprise also develops its own tour packages as an operator or runs substantial guiding, tourism-promotion or other travel-related services, compare 791200 and 799000 and register additional activities where appropriate.

Choose the NIC code that matches the principal activity, usually the activity that generates the largest share of revenue or best describes the entity being registered.
