Last-minute tours: what and when it burns

Probably, today last minute tours are the most demanded product in the tourism business. “Do you have anything on fire” is the most common question that any tourism manager hears several times a day. But what are such tours?

Last minute deals are tours that are thrown by operators on sale at the very last moment before they close. Usually this phenomenon is associated with air travel. During the formation of the voucher, the travel agency buys out certain blocks of seats on the planes in advance. Sometimes it happens that the board is not filled. To avoid big losses, operators decide to lower the price of the trip. Such tours are called last-minute because they enter the market almost on the day of departure.

Also in tourism there is such a thing as early booking. Many agencies are ready to make big discounts and provide additional bonuses if the client is ready to book and partially or fully pay for the tour long before the trip. Such services are gaining the greatest popularity a few months before the start of the tourist season. For example, a bus trip around Europe in early or mid-summer booked in March can cost up to 40% less.

In tourism, there is a certain connection and pattern in the appearance of last minute tours. In each season, you can find great deals for certain countries. At the same time, we must not forget about the visa. If it is not completed, the likelihood of having time to complete it in a few days is very small. You need to immediately choose a specific direction, prepare documents and only then catch profitable vouchers.

So last-minute tours to Turkey are most often found from mid-October to mid-November. This is due to the decrease in the tourist popularity of the region at this time. By reducing prices, operators are trying to extend the season as much as possible. Egypt usually burns in summer. From June to August, there is an abnormal heat in the country, the temperature rises to 50 degrees. Travel prices in Greece drop significantly in October and November, but remember that this country requires a multiple entry visa.
