Package Tours Abroad

When looking at package tours for Anerica it seemed to almost be more family oriented. Family trips were huge, as well as shopping. Florida and Disney World popped up a lot. I even saw tours  that were specifically designed for Christmas shopping!

The website above is full of the words family and shopping. They also had the classic trip to Vegas, Miami, and New York City as well. The one that shocked me the most was Boston, it seemed out of character compared to the rest of the trips they offered. I honestly was shocked to not see places like Niagara Falls. I tried a different site however and was able to find place like Yosemite park, Niagara Falls and Martha's Vineyard. 

European package tours seem to be more invested in their history, really expressing the blend of history and modernity. The big spots on the site are the obvious ones like Rome, Paris, and London.

The income they make of tourism really comes from the history of Europe. 

Comparing the different packages is basically what I would have expected. The American tours are more heard towards pleasure...including shopping, family trips to Disney world, and gambling. Europeans trips are more geared towards living the history of Europe. I wouldn't go to Europe to gamble, I would go there to see the history. However I honestly think more and more people are looking outside the box these days, trying to find different places to explore. It's the places like the  Rockies to go snowboarding, or cool towns like Port Angeles in Washington state. And the same goes for Europe, more people are looking to see what's off the beaten path.
