What is a package tour?
Package tour is the most popular product in travel agencies, and is a set of services that the tour operator has chosen for you at its discretion. Usually get package tours:
- people who first go abroad, and do not have any experience in such things as booking air tickets and hotels, do not know how to navigate in a foreign country, they do not know the language at all;
- vacationers with children;
- people who just want to rest comfortably, lie on the beach, have fun, without thinking about any technical difficulties, like: "I want to drink, where would I get some water"? Or: "What would I have fun today?"
The main feature when buying a package tour is that the packages are all different. Some of them may include a set of services for a minimum - standard package tours. Others may include additional services, which - depends on the imagination of the tour operator. Your task, when buying, "look inside the package" and choose the one whose content will suit you most. Have you ever bought ready-made Christmas gifts? Here is the same story. From the package tour, nothing can be discarded, nothing can be replaced. No one will tell you how much each of the services is provided separately. You either take everything as is, or do not take. But at the same time you can choose a simple and cheap package, or you can - a great chic package. A matter of taste and purse.
