Pre-Arranged Travel Packages & Packaged Trips:
Traveling On Your Own With The Basics Covered
For those that want to travel independently a travel package conveniently includes your basics: your accommodations, transportation, and possibly other inclusions like a guided excursion or a car rental.
On a travel package you pre-book and pre-pay for the components you need. By doing so you save money over customized travel arrangements, where all the trip components are arranged separately. Unlike escorted tours, where a group is traveling on a set itinerary with a tour escort, on travel packages you're on your own, with complete flexibility on how you spend your time.
Most travelers going to resort destinations for beach vacations, like Hawaii, the Caribbean or Mexico, book a travel package. Travel packages are also convenient for booking shorter vacation stays in cities around the world, from Paris, Shanghai or Las Vegas.
Travel packages come in all shapes and sizes, and range from those for budget travelers to those appropriate for a luxury vacation. If you are looking for an adventure travel experience, we can arrange that as part of your package. For those planning family travel, travel packages help secure your main travel components in advance, while providing you lots of flexibility on how to spend your time. You may also want to consider all-inclusive vacations, which also are very popular travel packages.
Booking Your Travel Package
To arrange your travel package, our vacation planners will need to know:
- when and where you plan to travel,
- from what city you wish to fly (if you need airfare),
- what type of hotel or resort you may enjoy, and if you prefer an all inclusive vacation
- whether you want a more premium room with a view
- whether you would like a car rental included or if if you want transfers provided, and
- if there are any additional excursions or sightseeing you may enjoy (which our travel experts can help you identify).
Some advantages of booking travel packages
Often the advantage of a travel package is you save money booking components together rather than piecemeal. With your accommodations reserved and your flights booked, you're free to spend your time on holiday however you like. We can also pre-book sightseeing or excursions, and can even pre-book your golf tee times, too!
Some disadvantages of booking a travel package
Booking a travel package means pre-paying for the components included in your package. While this offers a convenience (and usually a savings), some travelers prefer not to pre-pay their hotels.
Of course, with most travel packages you can purchase a cancellation waiver and/or
travel insurance, to protect your vacation investment should something occur that might change your plans.
