"Travels"

Please, what is the difference between:

- Travel and trip;

- Sightseeing tour and a package tour?

And what is the correct form: The hotels prices (or) the hotels' prices and why?

Thanks,

Watusa

Travel is the (usually) uncountable noun for the general experience of moving around; trip is a particular countable instance of travel : I love travel-- my next trip is to Botswana . A sightseeing tour can be done alone or with friends or on a package tour , which is an arranged group tour including transportation and accommodation and some meals (the 'package'). The hotels' prices or the hotel prices .
