Depending on your destination and your travel components, there can be up to five different ways to price your vacation to guarantee that you are receiving the best possible price.
- Published Pricing: Buying each component directly from the vendor, i.e. air, car, hotel, cruise, train, event tickets, etc.
- Tour Company Pricing: Purchase package pricing from a reputable tour company that offers some or all of the components you are looking for.
- Consolidators: Purchase blocked airline space from a reputable consolidator.
