Actually this is (usually) the opposite
Tickets sold for tourism are usually cheaper than a non-tourism ticket to the same place, so the ticket might be conditioned to being sold together with a hotel booking (travel agents like selling those combos)
- Ekaros 4y agoWouldn't combo be more expensive? As there is increased risks to travel agents. Flight+Hotel is considered a package and you have to provide, replace or refund both if one falls through. The difference with tourism is that usually they are not refundable or have quite limited refundability and these all thus sold for less.
- wongarsu 4y agoTourists are typically more price sensitive, so airlines look for ways to sell cheaper flights to tourists while still charging everyone else more. Package deals are one way to achieve that
