How it's used
People in Hong Kong often use this term when referring to the physical office or the company brand itself. It is common to pair this with the verb 報, as in 報團, when signing up for a package tour organized by the agency. While online booking platforms are increasingly popular, the term remains the standard way to describe traditional brick and mortar travel service providers.
