Backpack tour and package tour Which way would you like to choose on travelling, backpack tour or package tour? More and more young people like independent travelling, as its greatest edge is freedom, you can decide when to depart, where to go. I think it's the best way to visit those leisure destinations. I guess not many people would like to follow tourist guides and view scenery quickly, even they'll be under the tourist trap and forced to buy souvenirs. However, if you plan to go abroad for your holidays, you'd better take a package tour. With the help from travel agency, not only you can get a low budget tour, but also avoid something annoyed, like visa,transportation, accommodation. In my opinion, the biggest abstacle would be language and cultural difference. When you stay in a strange country lonely, you would be at a loss as to what to do. It's pretty diffcult to communicate with those local people, besides, you are afraid of offending their customs. So package tour still has potential markets in China.
