LETTER: Go your own way

From Mr Adrian Copping

Sir: It is sad that Nigel Williams should regard staying in the UK as the obvious response to unsatisfactory and increasingly expensive package tours (letter, 4 September).

In many years of travel, my family has only once used a package operator. Transport arrangements, journey times and accommodation can all be arranged independently, and often more cheaply. The relatively small amount of research generally required can be both educational and entertaining as well.

Yours faithfully,

Adrian Copping

Potton, Bedfordshire
