When a different code fits better
These are the codes most often confused with the main answer. Pick by the activity that earns most of your revenue.
| Code | Title | Use it if |
|---|---|---|
| NAICS 561520 | Tour Operators | you put together and sell your own tour packages |
| SIC 79120 | Tour operator activities | you are a tour operator assembling your own packages |
| SIC 79909 | Other reservation service activities n.e.c. | you mainly provide other reservation services, such as tickets |
Good to know
Agents sell travel made by others. Tour operators create the packages.
You can list more than one code. Companies House accepts up to four SIC codes, and SAM.gov lets you add several NAICS codes, with one marked as primary.
What the code affects
- SBA programs and federal contracts: your NAICS code sets the size limit you must stay under to count as small. Check your size.
- SAM.gov registration: contracting officers search by NAICS, so list every code you can deliver work under.
- Companies House: your SIC code appears on the public register and in your confirmation statement.
Codes checked against the US Census 2022 NAICS index and the ONS UK SIC 2007 index. Information only; confirm with the agency you file with.
