Supersonic(huge airplane and faster then any other, not in use anymore because it is so expensive, however the supersonic fares will return when it is profitable again).




The new clients in travel agencies and at tour operator desk:

-Business travel
- Special interest travellers
- Events, educationals, hobbies, honeymoons, guided cultural tours
- "The women of ancient Rome"paying for the quality and the experience of of the guide
for example in London.

MOTTO:)
The correct price is the highest price client is ready to pay.

TASK:

1. Please consult the Dutch Valkering Incoming agents CONFIDENTIAL TARIFF
WWW.VALKERING-INCOMING.NL/INDEX.ASP

2. Pick a destination of your choice, pick a hotel

3. Find an airfare

4. Create a tour package for a group of 10 special interest travellers (you can decide their field of interest by yourself)

use the excel program to do it.

2. I am going to Amsterdam with 3 of my friends and we are going on 1st of june until 7th of june.We are taking the THE GRAND AMSTERDAM-SOFITEL DE which is a 5* hotel and the address is 1001 EX AMSTERDAMOudezijds Voorburgwal 197Tel: 020-5553111. The reason of this trip is just leisure.

The rate will be 311€ per person in a dubble room, we will have two rooms cause there is 4 of uss so it will be 1244€ all together.

3. Flights I reserved from travellink.com and they were 212€ per person and 849€ all together.

Heres the flight schedule:


14:35 ti16:10 ti

4. Some activities

Canal tour
See Amsterdam and its famous canals by water! The Canal Bus pass offers a relaxing way to get around Amsterdam, with three routes and 14 stops. Kick back and plan your next activity while the charming scenery drifts by.

It is 18€ per person so it is all together 72€ .

Edam and Windmills Tour

Get an insight into the traditional Dutch way of life on this tour of windmills, a clog factory, and the charming town of Edam.

It is 30€ per person and 160€ all together.


For on one person this package costs 571€ and for all together 2325€...so not bad at all, Of course it doesnt include the food cost but still not bad!!:)

This is somekind of home work we had to do, we had to compare air fares...so..

AIR BERLIN

61 €




BCN – HEL
AB 8937

DUS
14:45

93 €

I think that the image of air berlin is quite okey,prices are normal or even quite cheap. Service is good and air planes are quite okey. Once I had a really scary experience,I was flying from german back to finland and we were flying with this really small airplane and it was rainy and windy and the hole plane was wubbling like it was a bout to crash!
