Tourism consulting provided by Post Office Travel Money confirms that a significant proportion of packaged holiday travelers are now seeking experiences beyond their respective resorts. Earlier customers expected that all travel aspects be taken care of by the tour operator or the resort itself. But now, customers are stepping out especially on long haul tours. The off-resort spending has increased by 44% in just one year. This trend is particularly strong in Europe. Food is the top category with nearly four-fifths of travelers eating out at least one meal in a day outside the confines of the package.
