I wonder why this is. I assume that accommodations are given for free; the food is minimal, mostly rice; petrol would be the only expense. But if you multiply 1100 by the number on the bus, say 60, that is $66,000 for the Northern tour! Just how is that price gotten, if not simply by what the market will bear? The money must go toward other expenses; certainly it cannot be for the tour itself. Is it explained anywhere how they come up with finances? Even 700 US dollars is exhorbitant for the tour; it seems that the tours are used as a cash cow, so to speak, for everything else. I guess the real consideration is to weed people out; only those who have the dough can go. I think that's the only true factor in the asking price, sorry to say.
