To elaborate a tourist package it is important to know all the types of existing leisure activities; for example, local programs can be developed within a tourist center or a locality. You can also make visits to national parks, museums, squares, etc. You can contemplate the options of the city tour, shopping tours, shift, etc. In addition to regional programs or tourist circuits. Once a greater knowledge of the types of existing tour packages and the possibilities provided by the destination has been achieved, the package itself should be elaborated.
In the preliminary stage, we proceed with the gathering of information. This means, we must know the profile of the passenger, their interests, which are the tourist routes that can be proposed, the destinations and the access routes. In a nutshell, you should work on market research in product research.
Next, the package must be structured: establish the products by rank, define itineraries, suppliers, possible variations of the programming, such as discounts for children, etc. In addition, you should start thinking about the retail price, taking into account the commissions.
At this point we are closer to what we are looking for: to prepare a tourist package it or what is the same, the final product, describing the itinerary and the rates. During this phase, a small amount of training for travel agents in Nagpur should also be considered so that they have a broad knowledge of the product that has just been created.
If we take into account the freedom of choice, we can say that there are two types of tour packages: static, when the tourist follows a plan previously drawn by the operator, and dynamic when the tourist can decide on the provision of services and has greater freedom of choice of activities. As for the duration, we could talk about short (weekend), medium (up to 10 days) and long (those from 15 days and up) packages. According to the category of the provision of services, we could talk about luxury tour packages, standard tour packages or student packages in which the most important thing is the economy.
As for the design of the package, it is important that there is a graphics part with the representation of the route on a map. In this way, a symbology that represents the typical attractions of each place can be added to the geographical design with photographs or definitions of tourist support.
Resource inventory and programming
Within the planning of the tourist packages it is convenient to make a list of all the attractions that can be visited in the area, a document that is usually called an inventory of resources. Normally the inventory of resources is a list that also contains the detail of all the providers of tourist services in the area; in addition, the definitive route is included with the selection of resources and attractions that can be visited within the package.
Also, within the inventory of resources, a strong attention is paid to the programming of tourist packages. This is the most important stage since it is also the one that usually has more risks or weak points. In the elaboration of tourist packages, the programming of the activities starts from the same inventory of resources, since in this one they have detailed one by one all the activities that are going to be fulfilled in the different tourist attractions. In order to execute an organized program, a description must be made day by day.
From the inventory of resources and once you have all the activity programming defined in detail, you must think about the human resources necessary to be able to offer a high-quality standard to customers interested in hiring the leisure product.
When preparing a tourist package it is very important to think about all the possible eventualities that could arise during the visits. In this way, it will be unlikely that the tours and travels in Nagpur operate and facing unknown situations. Normally, tourists know that it is possible to find some problems during travel, what distinguishes a good travel agency and quality is that you always know how to react in such situations minimally affecting customers.
