This bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis and comparison of the legislative conditions for the establishment of tour operators and travel agencies in the Czech Republic. Tourism is a dynamic sector with a significant impact on the economy and society, and tour operators and travel agencies are its key actors. The thesis identifies and compares the legislative requirements necessary for their establishment. Then it assesses their impact on the decision-making processes of entrepreneurs. The methodology includes a literature search, legislative analysis and comparative analysis. The main findings show that there are significant differences in legislative requirements between travel agencies and tour operators, which can significantly influence the decision on the type of business. Establishing a tour operator requires a higher initial investment and meeting more stringent criteria compared to travel agencies, which are less demanding both financially and administratively. For new entrepreneurs, setting up a travel agency may be more advantageous as it does not require a large initial investment. On the other hand, setting up a tour operator offers greater control over services and higher potential profits from more complex travel packages.
