Tours: how not to get burned?

 Tours: how not to get burned?  The last time we talked about the pros and cons of early booking tours. It would be logical to continue to discuss the subject and is now such a thing as a last-minute trips, implying departures on vacation in the next few days. As there are cheap tickets and that tourists can expect from them?

World tour   in the classic version sold for 1-3 days prior to departure and at a greatly reduced price. The cause of such tours become, often, insufficient thought-out marketing strategy travel agencies and hotels, the high competition in the tourism market. Breaking in the first place, increasing the size of the tour operators have contracts with hotels and air carriers for such seats, which are unlikely to "digest". As a result of this "muscle-flexing" ends with neraskuplennye hotel rooms and seats on planes given at cost or even below it, fulfilling contractual obligations and to somehow replenish working capital. This leads to a reduction of dumping material stability travel company, but pleases tourists cheap vouchers .

Another tempting offers may appear in the "low Date". About them clearly known to all the participants of the tourism market and the fall in prices can be expected with the greatest probability. This is the time after the high season, for example, the second half of January (after the New Year and before the student holidays), the second half of May (May Day), October (off season), etc.

In cheap tickets Purchased before departure, there are pluses and minuses. Let's start with a nice - the price. As with the early booking, the cost can be reduced by 30-40% and bring good tourist economy. Another plus - the ability to use an unexpected vacation or free time that previously did not expect tourists.

As for the cons, the main one is the lack of choice. On the "burning" serves those resorts, hotels, rooms that were not purchased for early booking or on an ongoing basis.

"Figuring out what is left," a sort of drain for unpretentious, adventurous and easy going. Because buying last-minute tours for families with children who need a high quality holiday, I would not recommend. To get to the good options you can not argue, well, if you will not get - farewell, rest?

The same applies to air travel - all of the most convenient flights already taken, is that no other tourists chose: departures "to the evening, back to the morning" (when lost the whole day), flights dubious airlines and so on. So those who wait until the last and hopes for free, need to understand and assess their risks.

Last minute cancellations do not imply, on the eve of departure penalties on any contracts amounted to almost the full cost of the tour. Also, it will be difficult to change the companion, because data is quickly sent to the hotel and ticketing. In general, there is no time to think: choose, just buy and go. And the way this 80% will be in the country's "massive areas," visa-free for Russians: Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Thailand, Vietnam and others. On the issue of visas simply do not have time, so that the "burning" Europe is available only to those who have someone available multivisa Schengen.

 Tours: how not to get burned?  To hot tour left a good impression, let me give a few recommendations for the purchase:

  • Last minute demands from some tourist participation, monitoring proposals. Sign up for multi-operator or your travel agent. Browse sites for tourists, where the company publishes the latest offerings. And when the time came to rest suddenly and monitor once - please call your travel agent, he knows "fishing spots", which publishes proposals for the next departures.
  • Despite the limited time for action, sign a contract with the travel agency and take a moment to study it. It should include all the parameters of the tour: the name of the hotel, room type and nutrition conditions of air travel, etc. By law, this tour is no different from any other travel company and bears responsibility for its organization.
  • Remember that burning can have its drawbacks. Expect from the sale at a low price impeccable quality would be wrong. The main thing - to have complete information! Tell the travel agent that they are willing to cons, but you want to know about them. This will help to select the most viable option available. If you know that the rocky entrance to the sea, then take the slippers, and there will be less reason for a bad mood.

    Enjoy all the pleasures of relaxation and a good journey!
