Make your Holiday Fit like a Glove

When you finally get around to deciding to follow your passion for sport, a sporting holiday is a great way to go about this. It is important, however, to ensure that you choose tailor made sports tours for the best range of options to suit you. If you decide on tailor made sports tours you get to choose a package that will leave out the bits that you are not interested in and include the bits that you love. For example, perhaps you are going to South Africa to watch rugby and are not particularly interested in tours of the city but would rather go on tours of the countryside – that can be worked in. maybe the tour itself is in Johannesburg but you decide that you want to go to Cape Town as well and explore the wine route, you can usually have a side trip tacked onto the end of your tour. Alternatively combine two sports in one. For example, golfing in Barbados can be combined with diving off the Barbadian coast, literally killing two birds with one stone.



There are two ways to go about finding the tailor made sports tours you are looking for – online and through your local travel agent. Whichever way you choose, be sure to establish fairly quickly exactly what the tour does include and exactly how flexible they are. True tailor made sports tours will give you a range of options to choose from within a specific tour and centered on a specific sporting event or theme.



You may find that the tours on offer do offer you what you are truly looking for but, should you be looking for more tailor made sports tours, list what you would like to add and what you would like to take out, if applicable. Contact the tour organizer or your travel agent and explain exactly what the changes entail. They should then get back to you and give you a basic idea in terms of cost, etc. you will then have to decide whether or not you feel that the package is worthwhile. Keep in mind though that your airfare is often the most expensive part of arranging a sports holiday and it may be cheaper to tack on your extras now than to arrange to pay airfare again at a later date.

Whatever you decide, communicate any changes that you want to make early and be sure to give the organizers enough time to set them up.
