  54. And these are the groups or agencies that do so
  55. tour operators they promote plant and organized tour groups.

  57. or conventions that go to cities.
  58. Unfortunately, because of covert on the convention center here, Henry
  59. weak ones.
  60. Allah Center.
  61. It's been hit really hard because they're not bringing in
  62. convention, so people aren't coming to the city.

  68. the different missions and then they'll take him out to
  69. eat at one of, like, media or something that's really
  70. popular here in San Antonio.
  71. Then we have travel agencies.
  72. But this group of people, um, they're not as popular
  73. anymore because of the Internet.
  74. Um, nobody really needs help in booking a trip because
  75. all of that is at our fingertips, right?
  76. We can google it.
  77. There's Expedia, Travelocity.
  78. There's different sites that can help you do that.
  79. Tour host sellers and consolidators, so they sell vacant seats.
  80. Um, and this goes back to the Travelocity or also
  81. for the ticket cells.
  82. You know how Ticketmaster always runs out of tickets right
  83. away. It's because people are buying them, the other people,
