Disadvantages: Long Hours and Workloads: Tour managers often work long and irregular hours. They are responsible for overseeing every aspect of the tour, from planning and logistics to problem-solving and troubleshooting.
A tour manager (or concert tour manager) is the person who helps to organize the administration for a schedule of appearances of a musical group (band) or artist at a sequence of venues (a concert tour).
Day trips booked through a tour company will often stick to the most touristy attractions as those are the most popular. This can also be a downside to any traveller who likes to leave the beaten path and explore an area more thoroughly than just the main attractions.
Tour managers are involved in budgeting, scheduling, transportation, accommodations, dealing with vendors, and sometimes even managing the artist's personal needs. They are the main point of contact for venues, promoters, and production crews, coordinating everything from soundchecks to after-show wrap-ups.
