Hi, the main difference the both is that:
Tour operations are putting together travel plans for individuals or groups, including transportation, lodging, activities, and other services. Tour Operators usually create packages, manage customer budgets, and keep up with market trends.
Meanwhile, Tour management is planning and coordinating travel-related activities, such as choosing destinations, booking tours, and arranging accommodations. Tour managers generally plan itineraries, book transportation and accommodations, and direct visa applications.
Hope this will help you in clearing your confusion.
