If you are still new into this kind of stuff, don’t fret, because will give you the basics of what really is a tour package.

What is a tour package?

It is a combination of any modes of transportation with accommodations and/or entrance to special events or tourist spots in the chosen destination.


Components of a Tour Package

Transportation to and fro a certain destination
This may be via air, land, or sea. The coverage may involve a transfer between countries and/or within the country.

Accommodation
Common example of this is a hotel. It may include a coach or taxi upon arrival and/or departure at the airport.

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

Entrance to attractions or events
     This is an important aspect of a tour package. What is the use of travelling in a foreign land if you will not have a chance to visit some of its main attractions? This is the part of the package that should be analyzed carefully or you will not get your money’s worth.

Insurance
     In a strange land, you must check if the travel agent will ensure your safety or will be responsible in case an emergency happens.    

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:

Adventure Tour Package
This is where Boracay tour packages befall. Thrill-seekers could enjoy some of the adrenaline pumping activities such as whitewater are rafting, kayaking, surfing, and other extreme sports that is not surely for the faint heart.

City/Region Tour Package
     This is for travelers who want to know the culture, history, and people of a certain place. A sightseeing oriented tour visiting the historic landmarks and must-see attractions of the place. Most often than not, it has a tour guide that acts as a facilitator and storyteller of the group.

Romantic Tour Package
     Do you want to rekindle the romance with your loved one? This could be a perfect opportunity to have an alone time with your sweetheart. This package is a time off for couples from the busy demands of the city or work life.

Business Tour Package
     This tour package will arrange how busy you are throughout the day or so. It will take care of your hotel accommodations and a service that will take you to your business engagements.
    
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.
