How it's used
While often used for travel professionals, this term also applies to the person in charge of any organized group, such as a sports team or a school excursion. It emphasizes the role of someone who manages logistics and keeps the group together throughout the duration of an event. Unlike a local guide who only meets a group at a specific destination, a 領隊 typically accompanies the group for the entire journey.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 導遊, which specifically refers to a local guide who provides commentary and information at a specific tourist site. A 領隊 is responsible for the group's overall coordination and well-being from start to finish.
