Passage Holidays

"Package Holidays" are becoming more and more popular. That is the sort of holiday many people are going on. A travel agency has chartered the plane they are going to travel in, reserved the hotel rooms they will stay in and even ordered the food they will eat. That is why it is called a package holiday. Such holidays are usually rather cheap. That is probably why they are so popular. But not everybody likes them. Some people say you do not see very much of the country you go to.
Some young people are going abroad, too. But they are not going on a package holiday. And their holiday will not be very expensive, either. They will probably walk most of the way. Sometimes they will get "lifts" in trucks or cars. They will stay in youth hostels 2. Sometimes they will even sleep in parks or fields. That is how a lot of young people see the world these days.
