Package holidays are normally organized and structured by tour operators. These are the individuals or groups of people who put together different holiday elements into one package (Ryan, 1989). They then sell these packages directly to members of the public or indirectly through travel agents. Different holiday packages have different costs, depending on how they are structured. A normal package holiday may include the following:

•Accommodation

•Flights

•Meals

•Transfers

Other elements of a package holiday can include: in-flight tickets, park tickets, ferry crossings and ski passes.

Accommodation is normally offered by hotels or hostels in various tourism destinations. Transport is normally offered either by chartered or scheduled flight services. In the package industry, meals are normally offered on a board basis. This means that the tourist is offered meals depending on the type of board he takes up. Different types of board offered by package tour services include:

•Room only where there are no meals available

•Bed and breakfast where only breakfast is provided

•Half board where breakfast and an evening meal are the only meals provided

•Full board where the tourists can get three meals in a day: breakfast, lunch and an evening meal

•All or fully inclusive which normally includes three meals a day, soft drinks, snacks and locally available alcoholic drinks.
