Vacation travel will always be a mass of confusion in the marketplace, with airlines, hotels, destinations, and tour operators all advertising different rates, numbers of nights and travel dates. It is impossible for travel agents to keep up with it.

To make sense out this confusion for you, twice each year TourScan computerizes virtually all of your options to the Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda. That is, every tour operator, airline and hotel package, every tourist office and hotel rate sheet, and every sale airfare gets input to our computers. It is the equivalent of you gathering and comparing about 300 brochures, fliers, and newspaper and television advertisements.

You may know that vacation packages offered by airlines, hotels and tour operators (like American Express) provide exactly the same airline seat and hotel room that you would reserve for yourself, but for up to 50% less. I learned this the hard way years ago when I found out that a young couple who was on the same flight with my wife and I, and was staying at the same hotel for a long weekend, had paid about half what I paid! And I thought I was so smart calling the airline and the hotel directly myself.

Our powerful computer sorts every package by hotel in price order. Then we select the Best Value Vacation, based on price and included features, from up to 80 differently priced packages to the same hotel. You end up saving hundreds of dollars versus the worst value package, or booking the trip directly yourself.

Because we are confident that we regularly find the Best Value vacation for everyone, we offer a low price guarantee: we will refund the price difference between any trip we book for you and any less expensive, equal package that appears in print and is available prior to your departure.

The reason we originally focused on the Caribbean region was because a vacation there can be whatever you want it to be. And it will always be accompanied by beautiful weather, crystal clear warm water, soft sandy beaches, and a friendly relaxing pace of life.

We offer you virtually every hotel on every island in the Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda - about 1800 properties on 56 islands. Most companies and brochures offer a very limited list of hotels on each island. But, by computerizing rates from and being familiar with, the smallest guesthouse on an island to the most deluxe properties, TourScan can satisfy all of your needs.

Our powerful Vacation Finder search engine allows you to search our database for the Best Value Vacation that is best for you. You can view vacation choices in many different ways:
- in price order for every hotel on an island
- at a particular budget, but across all the islands
- in price order for every Deluxe (highest) Rated hotel in the islands
- all-inclusive (all meals, drinks, etc.) hotels at a particular budget, or
- by hotels that offer golf, casinos, dive shops, or housekeeping units.
