Usage

A "package holiday" is a convenient product where multiple travel components are bundled together. The key characteristic is that the traveler pays one price for the combined services, which are typically arranged and sold by a single company.

  • The term is often used in contrast to independent travel, highlighting the difference between a pre-arranged bundle and a self-planned trip.
