When is the best time to look for hot tours? Step-by-step instructions on how to buy a tour online. Every day counts

To travel as often as possible, you need to be able to find the best prices for tours, flights and hotels. Pro independent search I have already written about tickets and the choice of a hotel more than once, but I have not yet talked about vouchers. Today I will give out all the services and sites where I look for cheap tours, and tell you how you can save money on a vacation organized by a tour operator.

How to look for cheap tours?

When going on vacation, I always consider both options - and independent travel, and the purchase of the tour. From Siberia, it is cheaper and more convenient to get to many places by tour (although this limits you in choosing a hotel and rest period). At the same time, I do not trust the choice of the country, resort and even the hotel to a travel agent - I select everything exclusively on my own and very carefully. To do this, I have several sites in my bookmarks, special mailing lists come to the mail, and an application is installed on my phone. As soon as the next trip appears in the plans, I begin to study all the offers in all services, and in the end I find the perfect one.

Subscribe to all newsletters in advance, even if you have not yet decided on the dates, budget and vacation period
Do not limit yourself to one country - you can have a good rest everywhere, so keep track of all possible resorts
Play with the timing - often a tour for 13 days costs only a few thousand cheaper than 10
Consider neighboring regions - there are no cheap tours from Omsk? See Yekaterinburg or Novosibirsk
In the search, score not only your favorite " All inclusive”, but also “FB” (breakfast, lunch, dinner) or even “HB” (tomorrow + dinner) - with a sufficient difference in price, this option may well pay for itself. In addition, some good hotels in Europe do not operate with all inclusive, so you may miss them.
Keep an eye on hotel ratings, but don't get stuck on them - often newer hotels with no rating at all are offered at a good price, and in order to earn a good reputation, they will try to please the first customers. Also check the rating on several sites, and be sure to read negative feedback(often people give low marks completely unreasonably)
Do not discard options with (when you are sent to any hotel of a certain star rating), but do not take risks if the price difference is not high. It is worth traveling around Fortuna only with tour operators with a good reputation, and be prepared for the fact that you may not like the hotel. This a good option for countries where most time you spend outside the hotel
Do not mess with , especially if they offer very low prices.
Sometimes it pays to take the most cheap tour and use it as a ticket, and book the hotel yourself. Just keep in mind that often you need to show yourself to the tour operator so that you are not removed from the return flight. In general, tell the meeting guide at the airport that you are planning to live in another hotel, and he will tell you what to do in this case.
From my experience good prices for vouchers usually come in late April-May and after mid-September-October.
Vouchers often burn in visa countries, so it makes sense to make a Schengen in advance and watch for offers (just keep in mind that if this is your first entry into Europe, you must definitely go to the country that issued the visa). And by the way, you can enter Bulgaria, Croatia and Romania using the Cypriot multivisa, which is done free of charge in just a few days

9 services for finding inexpensive tours

1 Moihottur.ru

Last minute site Moihottur.ru

I want to start from my favorite site - www.moihottur.ru When I have free time, I like to go to it and even just see what the situation is at the moment with prices for tours in my and neighboring cities. It was on this site that at one time we found our mega for Fortuna, and then a ticket to Dubai for 8000 rubles per person, which we used just as tickets (although according to reviews the hotel was not bad, but it was in Sharjah, and we needed be in Dubai). It is convenient that on this site, in addition to ready-made selections, there is also a search engine with which you can select a ticket according to the desired parameters. That's exactly what we were looking for ours this year. I also want to note a very good support service - I asked a question, they called me back quite quickly, and then they sent several hotel options to the post office according to the parameters I mentioned. At the same time, the service cannot be called intrusive, the girl called back once, but after finding out that we had already purchased the tour elsewhere, she said goodbye to me very nicely.

More hot tours on bankturov.ru

The website Bankturov.ru is similar to Moihottur.ru, but personally it seems to me less convenient and, to be completely honest, less beautiful. Vouchers both sites post about the same, but the price may differ by a couple of thousand. It is convenient that Bankturov.ru has an e-mail newsletter, which allows you to receive all last-minute offers directly to your mail every day.

3 level.travel

Selection and purchase of tours online at level.travel

Now, services for online ordering tours are gaining more and more popularity, thanks to which you do not need to leave your home at all and go to a travel agent. You select a tour on the site and immediately pay for it by card. All Required documents come to your mail. It seems to me that the future belongs to such services, at least for those people who can choose a hotel on their own. But it will take time for the sites to earn a serious enough reputation that you can safely buy tours through them. In the end, it was also once scary to buy air tickets on the Internet on “some obscure sites”.

There are two services in my bookmarks at the moment - and When we were looking for a tour to Rhodes, I noticed that the results on these two sites are different, so I recommend viewing both. Even if you do not dare to buy a ticket online, you can use these services simply as search engines.

4. Mobile application and website Travelata.ru

I recently installed an application for searching and buying on my phone - I used to use their website, but the application is many times more convenient. I love services that are constantly developing and supplementing, while they look stylish and, to be honest, help me find cheap tours. Go and download the application (or use the site - as you are used to).

It is very convenient that the cost of the tour is shown on Travelata immediately with the fuel surcharge (unlike, for example, the same moihottour) - it annoys me wildly when, after loading the tour, its price increases by several thousand due to the surcharge.

And one more nice bonus - a tour in Travelata can be paid for in two payments of 50%. One payment is made when booking the tour and the second - within 3 days from the date of confirmation. Not the biggest delay, of course, but still convenient. I myself have not yet bought tickets through this service, but since I decided to participate in their lottery for 100 rubles and received a 1000 rubles coupon for any tour, I may soon try to buy a tour on Travelata.

5 Sletat.ru application

This is a version for computers, but I like the Sletat.ru app

It was with his help that we found our superb hotel in Rhodes for quite reasonable money, although before that, of course, we had to look at a whole bunch of options. It is convenient that the application is always with you on your phone, and you can poke around in tours at any convenient time. You can sort the results by hotel names and, for example, remove tour operators that you do not want to fly with. Each hotel in the application has a rating and reviews, which is very convenient at the initial stage of selection (later, of course, you need to read reviews on other services). In addition, you can sign up for a tour and if the price for it drops, you will receive a notification on your phone. By the way, this is also true for already purchased vouchers, for example, our friends talked to the tour operator to change their hotel to a more expensive one after the price of the purchased voucher decreased by several thousand rubles.

The main assistant for independent travelers Piratesru.com

Almost everyone subscribed to the site independent travelers, since here several times a day they post the most interesting offers for air tickets and tours. Personally, I really like their air pickups from Moscow and St. Petersburg, but more on that another time. For those who are looking for cheap tours, it is very useful to view publications in the TOURS section. Most of the proposals, of course, are from the capital, but sometimes there are interesting options from other Russian cities.

Not very comfortable professional travel portal tourdom.ru

I have the exchange of the professional tourist portal Tourdom in my bookmarks and occasionally I look at it, but I have never really used it. Here every day information is collected about last-minute and abandoned tours, as well as charter tickets, which can be purchased without paying the hotel. Some tours can be purchased here on the site online.

8 Triphunter.club (Instagram)

All interesting tours and tickets in Triphunter.club profile

I follow these guys on Instagram, and often they replace all of the above resources. Every day on the site and in their own social networks, the cheapest tours (and air tickets) are posted, however, mainly with a departure from Moscow or St. Petersburg. Many offers are taken explicitly from the same Piratesru.com, but if you are most often on Instagram, then subscribing to this profile will be very useful.

9 Instagram

And a few more tours here Uletimru

Travelers Anton and Irina Konstantinov maintain a very useful Instagram account (as well as a Telegram channel). The guys themselves daily look through the promotions of the airline and the offers of tour operators and spread interesting finds. Most of all here, of course, it is air tickets, but tours often slip through, so I highly recommend subscribing.

Bonus

Since I look through all these services every day, my head is torn from a variety of cheap tours and air tickets. I recently realized that I can't keep it to myself and launched an Instagram profile. travel_price.ru. Here I post offers for the inhabitants of the "trans-Urals", and many of them I myself look for especially for my instagram. Subscribe and travel cheap!

In Soviet times good workers received vouchers to sanatoriums from trade unions. And when a hard worker for some reason refused a ticket, and even at the last moment, they said that it was “burning”. The expression "burning ticket" has taken root and migrated to the modern tourism industry.

Now burning tickets are called, which are sold a few days before departure and at a very low prices. Especially a lot of such offers during the low season. For beach tours- this is early spring and late autumn, and for skiing - summer.

Due to the reduction in the volume of charter flights, there are not so many last-minute tours now. Tour operators try to make commitments in line with projected demand. The hottest offers are at the beginning of the season, when demand is lower and charter flights have already begun.

Veniamin Bondarev

Where do hot tickets come from?

Tour operators before the start tourist season buy or book air tickets and hotel rooms in advance. Formed tours implement travel agencies. But it is impossible to predict exactly how many tickets will be sold.

When they talk about a last-minute ticket, they usually mean the ticket that has a very close departure date. In this regard, it needs to be sold urgently. The price goes down because you have to fill the remaining space on the plane and the hotel and at least earn something.

In order not to lose the money spent on the reservation, tour operators and travel agencies have to sell tours almost at cost. Yes, they will not receive the planned dividends, but they will not remain in the red.

For a tourist, this option is beneficial if he is willing to take risks and wait until the last minute for the sake of a low price, or, for example, if free time for a trip appeared suddenly.

Ilya Otkalo

According to Ilya Otkalo, the law does not contain the concept of a “last minute tour”, so by and large, a “last minute tour” is just a marketing ploy so that a tourist can highlight offers that are lower than the market price. At the same time, by selling cheap tours, travel agencies get grateful loyal customers.

Another reason why a ticket becomes a burning one is the rejection of already purchased tours. For example, a person planned a vacation, booked a ticket in advance, but just a week before departure he fell ill and canceled the trip. So that the place on the plane and the hotel room are not empty, travel agencies reduce the cost of the ticket and try to quickly resell it.

Finally, sometimes last-minute tours appear on the market due to force majeure events in the host country. If the political situation in the state has become aggravated or there has been disaster, the demand for tours to this country is falling sharply. Tourists can only be lured by a significant reduction in prices so that the desire to save money prevails over security considerations.

Features of burning tickets

Voucher to visa-free countries usually becomes burning 2-5 days before departure, and in countries where you need to apply for a visa - 7-10 days before departure. This means that time is running out for everything. In just a couple of days, you need to have time to pay for the tour, draw up all the necessary documents and.
You need to be prepared for the "low season" service. On the one hand, there will be few tourists around, which is a plus for many. But on the other hand, there is also less entertainment and attention from the staff. Do not be surprised if many shops and restaurants are closed, and hotel guide will offer just a couple of excursions.
Travel agencies do not book last-minute trips without the full payment of the client. If, when buying a regular tour, you first pay a part of the amount, and give the rest of the money later, receiving tickets and a voucher, then in the case of a last-minute tour, you will have to pay it immediately and in full. This money is non-refundable.

Thus, a burning ticket is perfect solution for a person who is easy-going, but limited in means. Such a tour is suitable for you if you are unprincipled (if only there was a sea, mountains ...), and you can adjust your vacation to the trip (and not vice versa).

But you should not agree to the first “hot” offer that comes across. Not every voucher, called burning, is such.

How to find a real last minute ticket

When the soul and heart require rest, it is difficult to remain cool at the sight of proposals that begin with the words "Super promotion!" or "The lowest prices of the season."

But the seductive price tag does not guarantee that you really have a burning ticket in front of you. Perhaps the price did not fall, but simply became normal. Travel agencies sometimes deliberately inflate the cost of tours in order to later attract customers with discounts. In order not to become a victim of "attraction unprecedented generosity”, study the prices on the market and find out how much the package of services offered to you in other companies costs without any discounts.

Many travel agencies, in order to stimulate sales, may pass off ordinary tours as last-minute ones. They just take the tours with the lowest price and present them as burning ones.

Ilya Otkalo

Also, sometimes the most ordinary tours with very, very cheap hotels. For example, it can only be a hotel that has just opened and has not yet earned a reputation, or a hotel located far from the sea.

Be sure to check out TopHotels.ru or TripAdvisor.ru and find out what kind of hotel you are offered.

You may not be satisfied with the level of comfort, even if the ticket is generally free.

You can also recognize pseudo-burning tours by other indirect signs.

Prices for accommodation in expensive hotels, belonging to some large network, are usually stable and do not decrease depending on the tourist season. If you are offered inexpensive ticket with a check-in at such a hotel, there is a high probability that the travel agency has cut the package of services somewhere and disguises the tour as a burning one.
During national holidays, during the holidays and vacations there are very few last-minute offers. If you manage to catch a ticket that was turned down, you're in luck. If the travel agency offers a wide range of last-minute tours during the peak season, be careful.
Attend some large-scale foreign event, such as a cool music Festival or a sports tournament, with a last-minute ticket is almost impossible. Flights and hotels for these dates are booked many months in advance. And you should be very careful if the travel agency suddenly makes a "delicious" offer.

You are really offered a burning tour if:
- less than two weeks left before departure (the closer the departure, the lower the price);
- this is a charter flight;
- accommodation is offered not in a city hotel, but in a popular beach hotel where tour operators book blocks of seats.

What you need to pay attention to when buying a burning ticket

Package of services

In this, a burning ticket should not differ in any way from a booked one in advance. Flight, transfer, meals, accommodation, insurance, excursions - everything is like in a regular tour in this country V given time. If you are offered a reduced package of services, then most likely they are trying to disguise the ticket as a burning one.

It must be understood that a burning offer may be burning because no one bought it in advance. The hotel may be useless, the flight inconvenient, the food unsatisfactory. Therefore, carefully study the contract and the composition of the proposal and, of course, look at the reviews of the proposed hotel.

Ilya Otkalo

Be sure to ask about the reason for the reduced cost of the tour. And in general, do not hesitate to ask the travel agent questions - time is short, and it is better to immediately clarify all incomprehensible points.

Advice: read the contract carefully. Pay attention to the legal details of the tour operator and travel agency, information about the license to carry out tourism activities, dates of flights, check-in and check-out. Examine the conditions for changing and terminating the agreement, as well as the procedure for filing claims.

Reputation of the travel agency

Almost all travel companies offer last minute tours. After all, they all conclude agreements with major tour operators and use their databases. But not all travel agencies conscientiously fulfill their duties, and some sometimes frankly cheat.

In order to find out if the price is really reduced, you can compare tours for the next dates using online tour search engines.

Veniamin Bondarev

To buy a cheap last-minute tour, and not just a cheap tour with disgusting conditions, contact trusted companies that have been operating on the market for a long time. It is best to choose an agency whose services you yourself or your friends have already used. It is also worth looking for reviews on travel forums.

Advice: if in doubt, check the tour operator according to the Unified Federal Register of Tour Operators, and the travel agency according to the register of travel agencies.

Visa

Hot tours are, as a rule, tours in popular tourist destinations. This is because the status of a burning ticket gets 7-10 days before departure. It is difficult to get a visa during this time.

Yes, travel agencies work with consulates is usually already debugged. But difficulties with documents can always arise: the wrong certificate, the questionnaire is incorrectly filled out, and so on. And then the client will be denied a visa, he will not fly anywhere and his money will simply burn out.

Advice: to fly to Europe on a last-minute ticket, apply for a Schengen visa in advance on your own.

It would be difficult for me to answer this question unambiguously. There are several aspects to consider here.

Firstly, if you have already decided on a place of rest and definitely aimed to spend it in a pre-selected hotel, which for some reason is especially pleasant and sweet for you, then in this case it is better to book a tour in advance, preferably three or four months in advance. Then you will definitely spend your vacation exactly where you planned, and no annoying overlays will spoil it. If you order vouchers a few months before the start of the trip, then, as a rule, in this case, many tour operators offer them for an early booking promotion, which implies a discount from regular price percent by 20-30. So we flew to the Dominican Republic, having bought a tour four months before departure and saving at least 30 thousand for two.

Secondly, if you don’t care where to relax, you don’t have any special preferences for any place or hotel, and the employer has nothing against spontaneously letting you go on vacation, then you can safely take a ticket for a week or even for 2-3 days before departure (unless, of course, your stay in the country of your choice does not require visa processing or you already have ready visa). But here, too, there can be pitfalls: there are more than enough places in hotels, but there are no flights. We didn’t have a vacation like that a couple of times: once there were no empty seats on flights to Tunisia, another time we waited until the last last minute trips to Turkey, and when they appeared, it turned out that all the seats on the return flights were occupied, and we didn’t We get back to work on time. When buying a ticket almost close to the date of rest, one must be prepared that the choice of hotels and inns will be very limited, hotels are usually on fire, where tourists find many shortcomings in food, service, and location. If you are ready to endure some inconvenience for the sake of saving your budget, then last-minute tours will be a good option for you.

And one more thing, why it is impossible to say unequivocally which tour (purchased in advance or just a few days before departure) will be cheaper: the price of vouchers from many tour operators is directly dependent on the dollar or euro against the ruble. And since the currency market is extremely unstable, and the ruble is crawling up and down, and it is almost impossible to predict its growth or fall with absolute probability, it will be very difficult to predict which tour you will be able to save more on. Therefore, the well-known statement that last-minute trips are definitely more profitable does not always turn out to be true. Sometimes a tour purchased on an early booking actually turns out to be cheaper than the same tour purchased on the eve of departure.

If you are going on a trip with children, then, of course, you should not wait until the last minute. Good rooms in decent family hotels By reasonable prices sell out quickly. And picking up good hotel, you will most likely find that everything is sold.

Specialists advise taking advantage of special offers for early booking in the following cases:

If your holiday is tied to a specific hotel infrastructure. For example, you are vacationing with young children and you need the hotel to meet the relevant requirements.
If you want to be sure to have a good rest during the moments of peak demand: during school holidays, New Year or May holidays.
Early booking is also worth using if you prefer one particular hotel.
If you are going to vacation in high season in a popular resort, where tours are always well sold out and there are no last-minute tours, earlier booking guarantees you a certain discount.
And finally, the undoubted advantage of buying such tour packages is the ability to choose a convenient flight and a more comfortable airline for the flight.

What to pay attention to?

Here are a few points that we would advise you to pay attention to if you are attracted by low prices for early bookings.

Hotels, of course, can reduce accommodation prices, but letting guests in for free is unlikely. Plane tickets are the most expensive part of the tour package, sometimes it is 70% of the cost of the tour. And fuel prices are rising - and tickets, despite regularly appearing discount promotions from airlines, are not at all cheap. If you are offered a vacation in Cuba or in Dominican Republic for $ 600, think about it: an ocean tour cannot cost less than a flight.

Unfortunately, the experience of the last two years, when several large and medium-sized tour operators “disappeared” on the Russian tourist market, suggests that, being already on the verge of collapse, companies were selling tours at unrealistically low prices. They received the money, but they did not pay for any tickets, transfers, or hotels. Behind last year 10 thousand tourists either lost money altogether and could not rest, or ended up in a foreign country on the street, without return tickets.

Seasoned traveler experience

Natasha, 35 years old, two children - 2 years and 6 years old:"My husband and I are avid travelers. Previously, we could go to an agency, buy a last-minute ticket, and fly somewhere the next day. But with the advent of children, everything changed. No, we didn’t stop traveling. But we began to take the choice more seriously country and the hotel we want to vacation in. In addition, my husband got a more stable job, and is forced to plan his vacation in advance. We already know at the beginning of the year when we can devote time to rest. While the eldest son was young, and we were not attached to school, we preferred to rest in the off-season - and cheaper, and fewer people. But this year, the son goes to grade 1 - we decided that we need to have a good rest in the summer. Therefore, we are already looking at all the offers of travel agencies for August. This is a high season, so We will be booking a hotel and a flight now.

Sergey, 42 years old, son 13 years old:"I always plan my vacation in advance, especially since there is not much choice, I have to adapt to the child's vacation in order to relax together. For example, new year holiday on ski resort We have already planned in September. And well done! Our friends who wanted to join us in early November were faced with the fact that all tours to our hotel were sold out. Summer holidays we are also thinking about it. We have not yet decided on the country, but we already know that it will be Europe. In the near future I will go to our agent to book a tour."

Marina, 27 years old, daughter 3 years old:“We stopped using the services of our travel agencies altogether: we book everything perfectly via the Internet ourselves. Now there are a lot of sites where you can book a hotel with a decent discount. you can cook on your own - and not all travel agencies offer such rooms. But in order to catch a profitable offer, we begin to monitor the websites of airlines and hotels in advance. Sometimes it turns out to be much cheaper than buying a tour in an agency. "

Some useful tips:

Do not flatter yourself with big discounts, most often this is a marketing ploy or a publicity stunt.
Reasonably evaluate the price-quality ratio. Remember that even with early booking, the average price of a 10-day tour per person to a decent hotel fluctuates around 1000€ to Europe and 1000$ to Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Tunisia and other not very distant countries.
Do not buy even the most attractive tours in an unknown travel agency.
When buying a tour, be sure to ask which tour operator provides you with this service. Do not be too lazy to go to the website of the Federal Tourism Agency - to check if such an operator exists, and for what amount it is insured.
Don't save on medical insurance- especially if you are traveling with children.
Be sure to read the contract that you sign - carelessness can cost a pretty penny.
Keep the contract and all payment documents until the end of the trip. In the event that you are settled in the wrong room or in the wrong hotel (which is possible in the high season), they will be very useful to you.

Spring, April, already and summer vacation on the horizon. And to relax in comfort, and save on the trip - the goal of any traveler. What is the best way to do this - buy a tour in advance or at the last moment? Let's try to understand the pros and cons of both options.

For the last couple of years, it has become popular among avid travelers to book summer tour right after New Year holidays. The fact is that with early booking, the travel agency provides a discount - from 5 to 50%. From six months to 2 months before the date of departure - the standard time for early booking. The minimum term for unpopular and non-mass destinations is 21 days.

The main advantage of early booking is the opportunity to choose. The most comfortable airline, the hotel you like, additional options offered by the tour operator. This is especially convenient if you are traveling with children. You can choose in advance a decent hotel with a set of entertainment for the younger generation. And the cost will be adequate.

Another reason to take advantage of early booking is your desire to fly away on vacation during the greatest hype - on holidays or school holidays. Are you planning to take a break popular resorts in July or August? Travel industry experts recommend booking tours in advance for this "hot" time. And even sometimes in September. Moreover, the more popular the direction you have chosen, the more profitable it will be to book early. The best hotels in Turkey, Cyprus, Greece and Spain are taken apart in the spring.

In addition, early booking is a way to get a guaranteed discount. The most modest companies offer 5%, while others promise to cut prices by half. For a traveler, the discount system is simple - the earlier you buy a tour, the cheaper it can be.

Hot Tour

Another way to save money on a trip is to visit a last-minute travel store. But for many, a synonym for the phrase “hot tour” is a cheap tour. That is, a low level of service and not best hotel, But actually it is not. Tours become hot for several reasons. First, the tourism market is extremely unstable. Demanded a month ago proposals suddenly become useless to anyone. Another option: travelers who bought this tour in advance, suddenly refused.

The most important plus of buying a last-minute tour is savings. On average, from 30 to 60%. But these are not all the benefits. Frequently travelers going on urgent vacations receive travel company also nice bonuses free tour, a ticket to a local museum, a certificate for a spa treatment).

The reverse is also possible. The tour operator, in order to save on you, will try to cut some excursion, visiting a hammam or a water park.

This is the first, but not the last risk of this way of buying a tour. Everything is possible: no entertainment program in the hotel, uncomfortable transfer, view from the room on the concrete wall. Also, you probably won’t get travel cancellation insurance, since such a service is issued at least 7 days before departure. And if you yourself suddenly decide to abandon the tour, then, most likely, the money will not be returned to you. Cancellation penalty is 100%.

And one more minus - you will have to go on a trip without carefully preparing and packing your things, but, perhaps, the very next day in a hurry.

If the desire to save money outweighs the cons, then buy last-minute tours! However, in order to “guess” when buying such a tour, you still have to work hard in advance.

It must be remembered that if tour operator offers you cheap ticket a month before the proposed trip, then this is not a last-minute tour! Most likely, the price was reduced for another reason: due to the long distance from the hotel to the sea, construction outside the window, or other factors that interfere with comfort. Better look for something else. Inexpensive last-minute trips from all tour operators to visa-free countries may appear no earlier than a week before departure, and if a visa is required for a trip to a country, they appear 10-14 days in advance. In most cases, the rule works - the closer the arrival date, the lower the price.

Almost at any time, you can "catch" a last-minute tour to Turkey or Egypt. For the last 10 years, these countries have been taking maximum amount tourists from the CIS countries. As a result, there are many burning tours in these areas.

But don't grab the first ticket that comes along! Before buying, it is advisable to visit the store of last-minute tours (the official website of the tour search), search there for information about popular and unpopular destinations and resorts this season, compare prices.

Another detail when choosing a tour. The last minute tour includes airfare for chartered flight and hotel accommodation. A travel agency may fail to sell before the required date either plane tickets, or hotel reservations, or both.

As in the case of early booking, you need to pay attention to the travel agency where you buy a ticket. And carefully read the contract so that it does not turn out that the agency saves on you. You should always check the level of the hotel, room and food. Choosing a sun tour last minute tours, you can be sure that you will not be deceived!

It is worth noting that the chance to buy a high-quality last-minute tour increases significantly in the off-season. The demand for vacations at this time is falling and travel agencies are ready for a lot, just to fill the planes and hotels. April is the most “off-season” month. Majority warm countries still cannot boast of a sufficiently warm sea. However, in Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco, Jordan and even Bulgaria, you can walk along the coast and sunbathe, and if you're lucky, even swim. There are also last-minute trips to Thailand at this time - in the spring you can get to rainy weather, but the rainfall will be short. There is still a chance to ride skiing at a discount in harsh Austria, Sweden and Switzerland.

Hot tours - a good choice for people who want to save money, while being dynamic and not too demanding on service. Early booking- is also a way to reduce vacation spending, but is more suitable for tourists who clearly plan their vacation, prefer comfort and are not ready for surprises. Which way to buy a tour to choose? You decide.
