    The document discusses package tours and independent tours. A package tour bundles transportation and accommodation that is advertised and sold together by a tour operator, while an independent tour allows tourists to set their own itinerary without services from a travel agency. Package tours offer advantages like tour escort assistance and less adventurous planning, while independent tours provide more personalized service, flexibility, and control over hotel location and quality at a higher potential cost. Both have tradeoffs between structure and flexibility.
