Special offer - how is it?
Help, please, to understand. I re-read a bunch of questions and answers on this topic on the site, but doubts remain, your advice is needed. I thought for myself that choosing a tour is to choose a hotel and dates on the tour operator’s website and go, in principle, to any agency you trust (the price is from the tour operator, so travel agents will have the same). But what is this special offer thing? Is this what I can see with the usual "tour selection" or something else? Please explain about this, my travel agent said that all this is nonsense, just look in the selection of the tour and nothing else.

1. What is a special offer?
They are also abbreviated as SPO - Special Price Offer. Almost everything that you see in the selection of tours is the prices for various SPOs. The operator forms per diem prices for hotel accommodation, prices for flights, transfers and insurance. It adds them up and get ready-made package prices for tours for certain dates, periods, types of rooms and accommodations. This is the initial SPO for a certain period. Then, for some reason, the operator decides that he needs to lower prices and releases new open source software. Then he decides it's time to go back to the old prices, and he ends the lowered STRs, and so on. etc. And so, during the season, the same operator can release hundreds of such open source software. The price for the tour is fixed according to the SPO that was in effect at the time of booking the tour. In fact, the term "Special" has long since lost its meaning.
2. What should a tourist know about these STRs? Only that these are price lists (price offer) that determine the prices for tours.
Nothing else. All that you see in the selection of the tour is the prices for some open source software. There are no hidden open source software that is not available to the public.
