Costing a holidayThe scenario I am doing is ‘Mr & Mrs Hamilton is a couple in their 30’s and they
wish to visit North America. They have 3 weeks and wish to visit as much of the
country as possible without the tour being over tiring. It is their 1 st wedding
anniversary so some luxuries would be good! The trip will take place in July.’
