Travel agencies offer package tours for every taste and budget for people who want to spend their vacation without worries. From trips to seaside resorts to the most unusual extreme tours. Each of these tours will include a mandatory set of services.
A package tour is a set of services aimed at creating the most acceptable and comfortable recreation conditions.
There are package tours of different configurations: from a minimum of services to full support. The package price will accordingly increase with the number of services provided to you. However, the most in demand is the standard package tour.
What is included in a standard tour package?
Flights
Any, even the smallest package will include delivery to the destination. Most often these are air travel. For example, if you intend to spend a vacation by the sea or, say, in the mountains. In the case of bus tours, accordingly, you are provided with transport along the entire route.
Transfer
Typically, a package tour includes a transfer from the airport to the hotel. Arriving in a new unfamiliar country for you, you are unlikely to be pleased to look for a way to get to a hotel on your own, the location of which you have no idea about. Therefore, the tour operators decided to take care of their customers and include in the package tour moving by land transport to the resting place.
Accommodation
Tour operators have also made sure that you do not have to spend the night outdoors. This means that any package tour includes hotel or hotel accommodation. The price of the package tour depends on what class of accommodation you choose for the duration of your trip. The first thing that the travel agency will ask you, after you decide on the destination, is the number of "stars" of the hotel in which you wish to stay.
Food
The tour operator will help you not to worry about how and where to eat during your entire holiday. This type of food, which is included in a standard package tour, is called "All Inclusive". This means that the hotel will provide you with full three meals a day. However, varieties of partial nutrition are often offered. For example, only breakfast. Or vice versa - "ultra all inclusive", which includes not only food, but also a wide range of alcohol. By paying for the Ultra All Inclusive meal package, you get the opportunity to drink and eat as much as you want without having to pay extra at the hotel. There are also limitations here. You can only choose food and alcohol from those offered at the hotel.
Insurance
Usually, a package tour always includes insurance so you can enjoy your vacation in peace. The tour operator has made sure that, if necessary, you are guaranteed medical assistance.
Guide services
It is convenient if you will be accompanied by a person who will explain everything and help you. This person is your guide. The minimum package tour may not include a guide. It is better to check with the travel agency right away. If, of course, you need such a service.
Excursions
If you like sightseeing in the area, then you should additionally include excursions in the tour. A standard package tour, most often, does not include excursions. Or includes a shopping tour - a trip to factories and shops, where you can buy yourself a variety of products and souvenirs. These trips are paid for by the factories and shops themselves. So they get customers, and you get the opportunity to look at their products for free, and maybe buy something.
Package tours, as a travel option, are suitable:
-People who are traveling abroad for the first time and have no idea what awaits them after the plane lands.
-Families with children. The tour operator solves many household concerns for you so that you can enjoy your vacation.
-People who just want to relax with the only thought about how else to have fun today.
