What type of tour is designed specifically for an individual tourist and is usually more expensive than a package tour?

1. Group tour

2. Cost-effective tour

3. Customized tour

4. Themed tour

The correct answer is: Customized tour

A customized tour is specifically designed to cater to the individual preferences and desires of a single tourist, making it uniquely tailored to their interests, timing, and budget. This type of tour allows for a high level of personalization, including selecting specific destinations, accommodations, activities, and experiences, which can significantly enhance the travel experience. Due to this customization and the focused attention given to the individual tourist, these tours generally come at a higher price point compared to standard package tours, which are marketed to larger groups and often include pre-set itineraries and costs. The other types of tours mentioned do not provide the same level of personalization or exclusivity that characterizes a customized tour. For instance, group tours cater to multiple people traveling together, while themed tours focus on specific interests (like art or cuisine) but don’t offer the same level of individual customization. Cost-effective tours often emphasize lower pricing rather than tailored experiences.
