At Mandala Tours we know the advantages of package tours and, for this reason, we offer many packages of this type. To learn more about this type of tours in which you visit two or more countries, you can read this other post of our blog, where we explain in depth what they consist of and show you some examples of the packages we organize. In this other article, however, we focus on the benefits they bring to travelers, so take note if you are considering booking one.
Travel time is optimized
Time is one of the most precious commodities we have. So anything that involves optimization is welcome. And that is precisely one of the advantages of package tours, especially for people traveling from distant countries. Unfortunately, not every year it is easy to put together one, two or three weeks of free days for a big trip, so opting for this type of package means “killing two birds with one stone”, as no one knows what your available time will be the following year.
Saves time in trip preparation
A trip not only requires time to enjoy it, but also to organize it. And with a package tour, you can organize everything in one go, saving you time. Nobody likes to go through red tape, so if it can be done in one ‘sitting’, so much the better. And the same goes for the suitcase and the travel list: although this is an exciting step, it is no less true that it takes time to order, shop, find out what is needed, etc.
Budget is optimized
If time is valuable, money is no less so. And visiting several countries in the same combined package represents a considerable economic saving, at least as far as flights are concerned. Let’s take the example of a Mexican tourist who wishes to travel to Egypt, Turkey and Jordan: if he were to do so in separate trips, he would have to take out 6 tickets (3 one-way and 3 return). On the other hand, with a combined trip through the three countries, you will only need 4: for example, Mexico – Egypt, Egypt – Jordan – Jordan – Turkey and Turkey – Mexico). A saving that, by the way, is maximized if the combined trip is made in low season.
Minimizing the impact on working hours
We have talked about time and money, two very valuable elements of our lives. But there is nothing more important than health. In the case at hand, one factor that influences it is the time change. And in package tours the impact of jet lag is minimized, because within these circuits through several countries the time difference is minimal, so that your body and mind will only need one adjustment, at the beginning of the circuit, and another on arrival. On the other hand, if you were to make three different trips, one to each country, there would be six imbalances, something that the body notices, even if they occur at different times.
Complementary knowledge is acquired
Package tours include countries that are close to each other and, for that reason, have many aspects in common. As a result, the traveler acquires complementary knowledge from one country to another. This can be by similarity and by difference. Let’s take the example of the same dish that is cooked in the three countries mentioned above, such as kofta. With a trip of this type, you will learn what the three gastronomies have in common and, when tasting the dish once in each country, you will notice the differences between them.
For these reasons and others that depend on each traveler, the advantages of package tours weigh on many people to opt for this option of circuit. Find out from Mandala Tours how you can organize yours and what destinations we can take you to in one go.
