Charter Holidays — Bask under the sun in all the continents

Holidays are meant for resting your limbs which have turned numb from working by taking a break and chilling out in the coolest holiday spots around the world. With travel agents and tour operators planning and selling charter holidays in every tourist place around the world, it is now very simple and easy to plan your travel and enjoy your holidays in your favorite hangout in the world. A package holiday includes accommodation and transport which is advertised and also sold by a tour operator who is a vendor of such package tours. These vendors organize such package holidays and sell them to customers through a travel agent who might be the organizer’s employees or even an independent trader.

Organized for the first time in the year 1841 charter holidays were introduced by Thomas Cook who took a group of campaigners to a rally from Leicester to Loughborough by chartering a train for a twenty mile long journey. In a few decades’ time he was organizing worldwide tours for small groups of people and his company became one of the largest and most prominent travel agencies of the world. Although business declined during the first and second world wars, Cook did not lose his patience and began selling foreign tours for Switzerland, Italy and Spain. The first mass package charter holidays were later pioneered by Vladimir Raitz who was the co-founder of Horizon Holiday Group. He chartered flights in several of his packaged tours and organized tours to Palma, Lourdes, Costa Brava and Sardinia.

Affordable and exciting

Later, by the 1950s, charter holidays became very cheap and could be afforded by a majority of the middle class crowd. These package tours consist of flight tickets, accommodation and transportation and became the first chance for people to get an affordable travel in the foreign countries. Today there are a few very famous and prominent travel agencies like which have dominated this market although there are a number of small time travel agents which cater to different markets around the world. With enormous changes and several consumer friendly reforms in this sector, it is now easier, safer and cheaper to buy these package tours because travel agencies have now come up with unbeatable prices, discounts, gifts, surprise packages, free hampers and several new consumer friendly offers which make our holidays even better.
