People usually go on holiday to relax and have fun. There are very many types of holidays. For example, package holidays. You have to buy a tour, pay for it and go to the necessary destination. Everything will be paid there, except your personal purchases. People usually choose beach recreation or mountaineering, some people like different excursions or so. You can lie on the beach, sunbathe or you can visit sightseeings of the place you are in. Or just ski. It is just your choice.
As for me, I like to learn something new, that is why I prefer excursions. I adore visiting museums, monuments and exhibitions.
