Dushyant Prakash, manager, marketing, makemytrip.com lists the prime elements of an ideal tour package. They are:
~ Competitive and transparent package price.
~ Accommodation at a good hotel at a convenient location.
~ Meals to cater to all taste buds.
~ Comfortable transportation.
~ Knowledgeable tour guide
"The tour design shouldn't be rushed," Prakash adds.
Breakfast is included in most tour packages. "Lunch and dinner are often left out as people will be out sightseeing and wouldn't be available at the hotel during lunch time," says Saheli Banerjee, of Concord Tours & Travels, New Delhi.
Points to note
