Add-ons can make a group tour more costly


A photographer will normally join a group tour. At the end of the tour, there is no compulsion to buy the photos. Tourists will normally buy them as mementoes.

I CAN'T help but laugh when I see “No Optional Tour, No Medical Consult, No Photographer” in a “Matta Great Deal!” advertisement by one of our local tour companies.

The words were not prominently displayed but were listed as bullet points among other features of the tour. Those of us who regularly go on packaged group tours to certain parts of Asia will know what those words mean!
