Holidays

When applied to holidays the expressions package and all-in-price mean that the
individual costs of accommodation, transport and perhaps excursions or other activities have
been carefully planned and joined together so that they may be conveniently bought as a
complete package.
Not only does this save the trouble of inquiring about each item and booking separately,
but the cost is often appreciably less than buying the same services bit by bit. An extra advantage
with package arrangements is that cost is often reduced for holidays outside the peak summer
months.
There are many interesting package holidays available in England. They range from
special interest study tours or sporting holidays to a canal cruising through the restful
countryside.
The popularity of camping and caravaning has also grown over recent years due to the
appeal of a flexible holiday, combined with the provision of more and better sites, and a wide
choice of equipment. Many organized camping sites offer such facilities as shops, showers and
laundry rooms, as well as the essential services. Equipment available ranges from sleeping bags,
folding beds, cooking equipment, fold-up tables and chairs to tents and tent trailers.
A caravaning holiday offers the same relaxed atmosphere of camping but the comfort of a
warm caravan may induce you to try the off-season spring and autumn months when the roads
are not so crowded.
