Package holidays are organised by a Tour Operator and sold to a consumer by a Travel Agent . Some travel agents are owned by tour operators, others are independent. The first package tour was organised by Thomas Cook who, on 5 July 1841 , chartered a Train to take a group of Temperance campaigners from Leicester to a rally in Loughborough , twenty miles away. In the 1970s , new, cheap package holidays provided the first chance for most people in the United Kingdom to be able to travel abroad. There was a marked decline in visits to British Seaside Resorts . Recently a growing number of consumers are avoiding package holidays and instead are travelling with Budget Airline s and booking their own accommodation. The latest trend in package holidays is ''dynamic packaging'', consumers are able to build their own package of flights, accommodation and a hire car instead of a pre-defined package. |
