Five Reasons To Buy A Tour Package Price: When you buy your vacation from a tour operator, you are tapping into their tremendous bulk buying power. Tour operators carry thousands of travelers every year-some carry millions-which affords them significant volume discounts on everything from air fares to hotels or car rentals. Convenience: Tour operators have already done all the research and visited all the places in the tours they sell. That means all you have to do to prepare the perfect vacation is call or visit your travel agent, tell her what you want in a vacation, and let her recommend the perfect tour package for you. Experience and Access: Tour operators are experts on the destinations they package. On an escorted tour, you will learn and experience more than by traveling on your own. Also, operators can provide access to places that are otherwise closed to the general public. Assurance: Traveling with a tour operator provides an extra measure of assurance. In the unlikely event anything should go wrong, company representatives are readily available to help you change your plans. Insurance: The tour operator members of the United States Tour Operators Association are each covered by a $1 million bond to protect all your payments. This consumer protection plan is the most aggressive in the travel industry. Home
