Why you should use an ATOP
Tour Operator:
Easy: You could try
making calls or surf the Net
yourself looking for rental
cars, hotels, air arrangements
and pousadas, but that is time-consuming
and
complicated. Imagine arranging
for hotels in 6 different cities,
then reserving the
car rental, then finding out
the best airfare is available
only 3 days later!
ATOP members are able to quickly
combine the elements you need.
And
you'll be dealing with experts,
who can advise you of pitfalls,
suggest better
alternatives, and give you assurance
that you are choosing a vacation
tailored to
your needs.
Cost: Our members deal
with Portugal every day. The
cost of the services
that go into a vacation often
add up to less than when purchased
separately.
The Association of Tour Operators
