The Tours Cost

GROUP 3
 TOUR BUDGET
Budget tours are perfect for travelers who want to see
and do as much as possible, while being economical. Budget
travelers don’t mind staying in simple and clean 3 ½ star
hotels that don’t have big price tag amenities and that may
not be located right in the center of town. Some sightseeing
is included, but travelers will have more free time to
explore the location on their own. A tour guide will still
lead the group and transportation and accommodations
will still be included with the price. Cosmos, Costsaver, G
Adventures, Intrepid and Contiki are popular budget class
tour operators.
Tour budget is travel that is cost-conscious and price-
aware. It is possible to travel with very little or even
no money at all. This means either keeping expenses low
or earning money while one travels. Important: in your
quest to reduce expenses, do not steal or mooch from
others.

TOUR BUDGET
 Tour Costing
This cost includes the cost of travel in different
modes like air, road, rail, land etc. In other words, it
is the total cost incurred for travel from a point of
origin to a point of destination through any mode of
travel. A commercial air ticket sold on a regularly
scheduled flight is a simple pricing procedure.
The prices quoted include all the applicable charges.
Tour operators have to worry about airport
transfers too. Pricing charter flights is little more
complicated. Frequently, modes of transport are
combined or used sequentially to achieve the
objectives of the tour.
What are your operating costs?
Your operating costs consists of two main categories,
namely
1. Fixed costs These are costs that occur and remain
unchanged regardless of the number of tours or
activities you run. This could be your rent,
administrative costs, annual costs or cost of storing
your equipment.
2. Variable costs This refers to the costs you incur
according to the number of tours or activities you
run. It includes wages for your guides, cost of fuel,
meals during your tours or a commission you pay your
re-sellers.
One of the key factors for
success in the tourism industry
is the right tour costing and
pricing. Set the price too high
and people won't buy. Set it too
low, and you'll go out of
business. To ensure that
consumers purchase your tours
and partners promote them,
your prices must be consistent,
accurate, and competitive.
