catalogues de voyagistes


Explanation:
ou de "tour operators".
Il me semble que ce sont plus des "catalogues" que des "brochures".
Pour "tour operator", voir déf. de LGDT:

voyagiste n
recommandé par l'Office de la langue française
Personne morale ou physique qui commercialise des voyages à forfait directement ou par l'entremise d'agences de voyages.

brochures de tour-opérateur / de voyagiste


Explanation:
Voyagiste est plus conforme au génie de la langue française mais moins usité que tour-opérateur et même souvent le franglais "tour operator" (à éviter)

Brochure d'un organisateur de voyage


Explanation:
Il faut garder le mot "brochure", car cela indique le volume.

Pour le reste, il y a de tout sur le net et dans les dicos.

Organisateur de voyage désigne non seulement les agences, mais également des compagnies de transport organisatant des sortie en bus.

brochures (de voyage) des tour-opérateurs


Explanation:
sometimes (less frequently used): 'catalogue(s)'

a tour operator is not a travel agent - common mistake.

Ref.:

"... ce dernier ou ceux des compagnies aériennes. De fait ... qu'environ 350 tour-opérateurs;
tous n'étant ... leurs produits et brochures à disposition dans ..."

www.abm.fr/avion/gvaquisadresser.html

It also helps that I worked many years in the travel industry (as tour operator and travel agent and tour manager) :)

brochure de tour-opérateur(s)


Explanation:
'voyagiste' seems to be the real 'French French' term, but I'd still go for 'tour-opérateur'.

"... France. Présentation : L'un des tour-opérateurs les plus connus du grand ... et province.
Infos disponibles : Leur brochure vols secs (sortie en mars ..."

Then again, I don't live in France...

OBS – In almost every case, the company acting as a wholesaler also operates the tours it creates or packages. Specifically, the wholesaler arranges tour packages, that is, contracts with hotels, ground transportation companies, attractions, and other components, thereby assembling the ingredients of a package tour. A wholesaler produces the brochures for distribution to individuals through travel agents and airline ticket offices. Earnings are derived from commissions and a markup on the net cost of the components. Tours and packages are marketed through travel agents (who receive a commission from the wholesaler) and airlines. Source

no sweat... but 'agence de voyage' for tour operator is incorrect


Explanation:
The choice is yours,
but I'm afraid, it's the wrong choice.

When evidence has been given by several translators, then why do you still pick the wrong translation?

Mind you, I know the world is not going to fall apart...and only few people will notice the mistake, but if this would have been a legal translation, your client could face severe problems one day (e.g. check the liability clauses of a tour operator company and compare it with the liability of a travel agency).
