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

category 3-4* or democratic 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, accessible 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 twice and "collect feedback" - 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.e.
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 own company"
3. meet a narrowly defined (very modest budget)
on a note -
Since promotions like TEZ EXPRESS, Ruletka, Fortuna, Bingo, Happu Hour…..
this is the process of buying a "pig in a poke" "under the declared star rating indicated in the voucher (permit)
but as a rule, if it is 5 * - then the cheapest at the local Resort (resort), in practice, tourists
extremely 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 "hid" in air travel, transfers and insurance. It is necessary to be aware that if a tourist intentionally 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!

)))))))))))) A lot)))))))))) I love such questions - the mood is improving!!!
It's like asking how much cheaper shoes are on sale. Of course, we all understand that sales are different - both 90% and 5%, and the price / quality of shoes too.
In general, the concept of "burning tour" is virtual - there is no such term in the tour business. Sometimes it is extremely difficult to say whether the SPO refers to burning tours or just the tour operator indulges)))

Times are changing. Previously, such questions were answered - "But we only drive on burning ones" and prices were named according to the principle - who is less.

To be honest, I got the question - Do you have something burning?
Ugh! everything burned down in December!!!

Managers of local travel agencies offered last-minute (April 29) for a week to Turkey for ALL for two, prices started at 590 USD for 3* and 670 USD for 4*. Why are these not hot deals?
Here is an approximate order of prices (what managers sent out):
STONE HOUSE 3 * ,Kemer -289 per person in double
GRAND LUKULLUS HOTEL 4 *, Kemer -334 USD
SULTAN'S BEACH HOTEL 4 * -354 USD
MAHBERI BEACH HOTEL 4*-354 USD
SERAP SU BEACH RESORT 5 * - 404 USD

These are not last-minute deals, this is a reduction in hotel prices in the "off-season". The off-season is now .. everyone is booking for May, but now the planes are not loaded.
Zlata, we are managers ourselves and we see all this every day.

I won’t be surprised if there are no more places on flights for these offers - they are cheap, especially at the end of April-beginning of May
Sometimes managers sin and give such prices .. and then when booking, Oops .. there are no places .. let's do something else .. and the other is an order of magnitude higher in price ..
аватар Amir1
of course worth it! If you find it, tell me, otherwise I can’t find it for half a year, and I’ll definitely look for another half a year. I just don't have them.
