Meals

     Breakfast is usually included. Lunch or dinner may be served, as well.

Entrance to attractions or events

Types of Tour Packages

There are different types of tour packages depending on the interest or purpose of the traveler. We enumerate some of it below:

Attraction-based Tour Package

     Do you want a tour that will take you to Hongkong Disneyland? This is a family-oriented tour package and the usual destination is a theme park.

The beauty of a tour package lies in the cost and lessens the burden of finding each component separately. You don’t have to search high and low for a flight schedule, accommodation, and the hassle of organizing an itinerary on your own. It will be duly taken care of the travel company who has the experience of choosing what is best in the market. Just check if the cost never goes overboard and there are no hidden costs.
