What is a "Hot Tour", the process of its acquisition + the truth about promotions:
In view of the prevailing and well-established opinion about the "burning tour" as a tour that was abandoned, it is 100% delusion. In the modern tourism business, with a contractual relationship, a tour operator and a travel agent, in case of refusal from an already booked and confirmed tour, certain penalties come into force, therefore, if a tourist refuses a tour, the travel agent is obliged to compensate the tour operator for a penalty in the amount of 30 to 100% of the total cost of the tour (depending on from the date and season of the upcoming departure).
"Hot tour" is a special offer that is formed in a situation in which there is an excessive planned loading of a charter flight (underload), while the tour operator recalculates the previously announced price offer in the direction of reducing the cost, thereby financially interest potential tourists.
The tour operator reduces the price, as a rule, for its basic hotels, in which at the moment there is a quota of guaranteed places and, accordingly, the demand for them is not very high (this can, as a rule, be during the middle season "slow" hotels of category 3-4 * or affordable 5* hotels).

"Hot tour" often occurs mainly during the low season, when the load on charter flights is low.
Tour operators give all their price offers online, available to any Internet user (search for a tour on the tour operator's website), so the prices for tours are the same for all travel agents (there are no separate networks, including "burning" and others with exclusive, special prices ). Therefore, if the cost of the tour, for example, is 1218 USD, then its cost in the online system for all agencies is 1218 USD. Based on this, it does NOT make sense to call and court everyone in a row in search of a more unreasonably low price for the same tour.
In practice, a situation arises in which a tourist, in "search" for a lower price, "does not succeed" anywhere, due to the fact that: the sale for a charter is closed, or the hotel "left the sale" for a given period of time, or the hotel raised the price for it (the last already becoming the rule for the modern tourism market)

A "hot" tour is usually a 7 night tour due to the fact that it is tied to a charter i.e. to the weekly download schedule. With rare exceptions, in the low season there are "burning" tours for 10 or 14 nights.
In practice, the purchase of a "burning tour" does not leave the tourist to think long and "gather reviews" - but requires promptness, decisiveness and speed of decision-making in the current situation.
The probability of closing the quota of places in the hotel and / or terminating the promotion under the "hot tour" scheme is very high, therefore, in practice, after receiving a refusal, you have to book another hotel (at best, on the same date) or refuse to travel for this period.
"Hot tour" is of course the prerogative of people "easy-going" and for those who are not bound by a certain time frame in terms of the implementation of the trip.
Recently, the leading tour operators have been practicing the scheme of selling tours in advance, i.е.
the earlier the tour is booked and redeemed, the lower its cost than on the eve of departure.

About promotions – "Fortuna"
good for those who want
1. go for the first time (nothing to compare with - you should like it)
2. fly many times during the year "with your company"
3. meet a narrowly defined (very modest budget)
on a note -
Due to the fact that promotions like TEZ EXPRESS, Ruletka, Fortuna, Bingo...
this is the process of buying a "pig in a poke" "under the declared star rating indicated in the voucher (voucher), but as a rule, if it is 5 *, then the cheapest at the local Resort (resort), in practice, tourists rarely get into a decent hotel with real " strong "stars" (as a rule - a hotel on the 2nd line, on the "outskirts" with a bad beach and infrastructure, and other, other "charms" of a ball trip, where the lion's share of the cost "hidden" in air travel, transfer and insurance. You need to give yourself report that if a tourist deliberately and consciously chooses a tour to a 3 * -4 * hotel at a cost slightly more than a charter ticket, then "there is practically no hotel on the tour."
So think for yourself - decide for yourself!

if funds are limited
if there are no restrictions on rest (not tied to specific dates)
if there are no special requirements for rest
COSTS!
disadvantages - last-minute tours appear unexpectedly and often not in the best hotels

The only thing I disagree with is the "claims". Of course, RIXOS are not on fire, but you can also find great last-minute tours! Often I go on burning and happy! =)

nothing to add, Maria respect. And you need to ask. It happens to me myself that in a hurry I will miss one of the operators, where the best tour is, and the competitors are already right there. Just do it quickly.
Is it worth it? Of course worth it!!! If this is not a fortune, then you see which hotel you are going to and you get everything the same, but much cheaper.

agree with all respondents
From myself I will add that I was resting on burning
and more than once, always satisfied, because we are unpretentious tourists
and always rate the hotel on the principle
how much you paid and what you got.
So if a hotel is offered for little money
it is worth going, but understand that you do not need to rely on the conditions of the Hiltons, Rixos, etc.
