Tour operator service definition requires primary engagement of planning, scheduling, organizing tours by mode of transport covered by permit under Motor Vehicles Act, 1988; standalone hotel accommodation arrangement cannot be classified as tour operator service. Hotel accommodation service was brought under service tax net from 01.05.2011; prior non-taxability and double taxation avoidance principle discussed.
