Tour "Fortune": how to save money on travel without sacrificing rest

Find out what this type of tours is, why they are profitable for tourists and how to choose a trip for a great vacation.

What is the system "Fortune"

Quite often, the last-minute offers from operators come across an offer "Fortuna", sometimes with an indication of the type of food and the category of the hotel - "Fortuna" 3 *, 4 *, 5 *. Some tourists think that this is a popular hotel chain, but they are wrong.

The "Fortuna" offer is a tourist roulette: the hotel in which the vacationer will be accommodated remains a surprise until the moment of check-in.

The risk is small, since the tour operator guarantees the settlement of tourists in a hotel not lower than the designated category and with the type of food indicated in the voucher. But on the other hand, the cost of tours according to the Fortuna system is much lower than the prices for vouchers with a certain hotel.

How it works

For example, you buy a tour "Kemer Fortuna 3 * All inclusive". This means that you can be accommodated in any of more than 100 3 * (more likely) or 4 * (less likely) hotels in the Kemer region on the Antalya coast with all inclusive meals.

Such a system allows tour operators to guarantee the distribution of tourists to the pre-purchased hotel rooms. And thanks to this system, tourists can relax at a minimal price and then tell their friends how they flew to Greece for 18,000 for two. Another plus of the "Fortune" tour is that you can forget about the painful choice of the best hotel based on reviews and photographs and calmly wait for your vacation.

If you do not believe in your luck and are afraid to find yourself in an uncomfortable hotel or far from the sea, then use a life hack that allows you to guess which hotel you will be in, or at least narrow the range of possible options. After reviewing them, you can conclude whether it is worth using this offer or it is better to book a specific hotel.

How to guess which hotel you will be accommodated in

1. Using the Tourglobal.ru service, find the "Fortune" offer that interests you.

2. See which tour operator it was billed from. For example, this is Coral.

3. On the website of this operator, set all the known parameters of the "Fortune" tour: the city of departure, the country of destination, the date, duration of the tour, the type of food and the star rating of the hotel.

4. In the search results, the tour operator will show you all hotels of this category and the very "Fortune" offer that you previously found on the Tourglobal service.

5. Carefully study the search results and find tours that are approximately in the same price range as the "Fortune" tour. This will be a list of the most likely settlement options. Pay special attention to hotels that are labeled "Instant Confirmation" - most likely, you will find yourself in one of these hotels.

A pleasant bonus: tourists tell a lot of stories when vacationers with a purchased tour "Fortune" 4 * were settled in 5 * hotels, since the "fours" were full. So if you are always lucky, perhaps luck will smile at you this time too.
