Episode Details

I'm sure most of us enjoy going on holiday. It's a break from the routine and a chance to jet off somewhere with friends or family. This might involve sightseeing and soaking up local culture in a new destination, or it could be kicking back and lazing by a pool or on a beach. But, whatever we choose, the most convenient way to do it is on a package holiday.

我相信我们大多数人都喜欢去度假。 这是摆脱日常生活的休息，也是与朋友或家人一起飞往某个地方的机会。 这可能涉及到一个新的目的地观光和吸收当地文化，也可能是在游泳池或海滩上放松休息。 但是，无论我们选择什么，最方便的方式就是跟团度假。

This type of vacation combines the flight, accommodation, transfers and sometimes the services of a rep, all into one booking. They were traditionally sold by travel agents on the high street, but as a few big-brand names closed, many are now purchased on websites. Travel journalist Simon Calder explains that the benefits of a proper package holiday are that "by booking flights and accommodation in a single transaction from a tour operator, you transfer all the risk to the company." This means it has to sort things out when things go wrong, and if the operator goes bust, you can get a refund.

这种类型的假期将航班、住宿、接送服务（有时还包括代表的服务）全部整合到一个预订中。 传统上，它们是由旅行社在大街上出售的，但随着一些大品牌的倒闭，现在许多都是在网站上购买的。 旅游记者西蒙·考尔德（Simon Calder）解释说，合适的旅游套餐的好处是“通过在一次交易中从旅行社预订航班和住宿，你可以将所有风险转移给公司。” 这意味着当出现问题时它必须解决问题，如果运营商破产，你可以获得退款。
