The development of package tourism has been a significant feature in the post-war expansion of tourism. The package tour provides many benefits to both travelers and tourism service groups and has become one of rite greatest influences in the travel and tourism industry. This paper provides a comparative profile of package and non-package travelers from the United Kingdom. The profiles were developed using sociodemographics, travel characteristics, and information sources. In contrast to earlier studies on packaged vacations, travel philosophy, benefit sought, and product preference were included to understand the choice and decision-making patterns of package and non-package travelers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the ethnicity and race in Great Britain. Most British slaves were overseas, in the colonies not in Britain, and the black British are thus mainly "twice migrants" or descendants of "twice migrants." And the British nation never perceived itself as being built up of migrants and settlers in the way the U.S. did. Britain did not have either a Negro problem or a melting pot problem. The major part of British writing on minority groups in Britain has focused overwhelmingly on blacks and Asians. For the present purpose, the idea that there is some kind of connection between the anthropological study of migrant communities in Britain and the anthropological study of more traditional communities in the developing world is one that will recur throughout this article. It is also an issue that marks the British approach to race and ethnicity off from its American counterpart. As with the early British literature on blacks in Britain, the earliest writings on other minority migrant groups tended towards the broad-brush survey approach. Immigrant workers have come to form part of the class structure of the immigration countries. This in turn has effects on the economic, social, and political situations of all other classes.
