What's Behind the Loud Promotions🤔

Came across interesting offers from one tour operator (won't name them, the main thing is to show the essence).
Discounts up to 55% at some hotels in the Maldives (discount depends on length of stay and room category).


💰 The prices are indeed attractive — with departures from Moscow for 2 adults and 1 child for 6 nights, all inclusive:

🏝 KANDIMA MALDIVES 5⭐️ (photos 1-4)
sky studio
💸May 12 465,813* RUB
July 13 522,460* RUB

🏝 LE MERIDIEN MALDIVES RESORT & SPA 5⭐️ (photos 5-8)
beach villa
💸May 12 590,029* RUB
July 13 646,677* RUB

And here's what they don't write on the website, but I see when I look at tours: the price includes flights on regular flights with layovers, attention, in the UAE, which means:
🍐 the price may change depending on the airline's fare (remember, regular airlines have dynamic pricing),
🍐 given the situation in the Middle East, there may be flight delays.

The most interesting part is next. I looked at the same hotels with another tour operator only on direct charter flights. And here's the result:


🏝 KANDIMA MALDIVES 5⭐️
sky studio
💸May 14 for 7 nights 602,227* RUB
July 12 for 7 nights 685,401* RUB

🏝 LE MERIDIEN MALDIVES RESORT & SPA 5⭐️
beach villa
💸May 14 for 7 nights 691,175* RUB
July 12 for 7 nights 774,349* RUB
*prices are current at the time of writing and may change
TOTAL: tours are 101-163 thousand rubles more expensive, but you are not dependent on layovers and you rest one night longer. How do you like that?


This situation highlights 2 points:
✅ You need to carefully read the full terms of promotions, often the "fine print" can negate potential benefits.

💙 By booking tours at a travel agency, you get more choices to find the best option, because agencies work with several tour operators at once.
