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, 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.

We draw our own conclusions.
Everything is possible and there is a possibility that a hot tour will appear.
But they do not just come for sale to the agency and there is no exact date of their appearance.

Complaining tours appear from two weeks before departure and up to one day before departure :))))))))

It seems to me that in the current situation there should be last-minute tours. Why do I think so? I am going to Turkey to the Viking Nona Beach Hotel **** somewhere in the second half of August, for 12 days, so sometimes I look at prices (current and second half of August) So now a single room costs 1200 dollars, and end of August 1600-1700 dollars. They still have hope! And as this date approaches, of course, they will proceed from the situation. But you can’t delay the seat either, you can find yourself in a situation where there will be nothing at all in your favorite hotel, and you have to look for a replacement, and this is always fraught.

two or three days before departure, burning
we flew, we were satisfied
The only catch is you need to be able to quickly assemble
in the sense of being in time in such a short time
take a vacation at work, attach pets for example :)))
аватар Amir1
but you can wait until all flights are closed and you can’t fly anywhere at all, because. there are situations when all the places for charters are sold out 2 weeks in advance.
аватар PlyusheMonstr
Amir1 - of course you can
therefore, you need to watch tours starting from two weeks before the planned departure
bomba2577 - if only a certain departure date suits you, then you should not wait for last-minute tours (I do not mean booking 2 months in advance, but at least 2 weeks in advance - so that the seats on the flight do not run out)
