Cost and price a multi-day tour package
A tour costing sheet with fixed and per-person costs, break-even group size, markup, and a sellable inclusions list.
The prompt
Help me cost and price a multi-day tour package.
Tour outline: [DAYS, DESTINATIONS, ACTIVITIES, ACCOMMODATION LEVEL]
Supplier costs (net rates): [HOTELS PER ROOM/NIGHT AND OCCUPANCY BASIS, TRANSPORT PER VEHICLE/DAY, GUIDES, ENTRANCE FEES, MEALS, INSURANCE]
Group size range: [MIN AND MAX PASSENGERS]
Currency and exchange risk: [SUPPLIER CURRENCIES vs. SELLING CURRENCY]
Sales channels and commissions: [direct, travel agents at X%, OTA at Y%]
Target margin: [e.g. 20-25% gross]
Taxes or regulatory charges: [e.g. VAT on margin, tourism levies - or "unsure"]
Steps:
1. Split costs into fixed per departure (vehicle, guide, tour leader comps) and variable per person (beds, meals, entries).
2. Calculate cost per person at several group sizes and the break-even group size.
3. Price per person on twin share, plus a single supplement calculated from actual single room costs.
4. Build in currency buffer and agent commission so margin holds on every channel; show net margin by channel.
5. Flag where a minimum numbers clause, final payment date, and cancellation scale are needed to protect the departure.
6. Write the inclusions and exclusions list as a guest would read it.
Return a costing table, a price table by group size and channel, the break-even point, and the inclusions/exclusions list. Use only supplier rates I give; mark gaps as [GET QUOTE]. Package travel rules and tax treatment vary by country; confirm with my accountant and any travel trade body I belong to.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
