Hotels not lowering their room prices to general public, airlines also the same, even they have vacant rooms/seats. But they both wants to fill their seats and rooms, even below cost prices. Then they usually organize a third party travel agent to take care of these packages.  When an air ticket alone cost $1200  from Melbourne to Colombo(off peak),  there are 2 week sri lanka holiday packages available for $900, including accommodation and breakfast . There are no losses to airline. They may sell the tickets at below cost price, but it's still better than nothing. Hotels also the same. If a star class hotel advertised their room tariffs  at half price,  it's not good for their reputation. But they are  more than happy to do it through these packages rather than having 10% occupancy. I am not sure how genuine is the offer you have seen, because there are lots of fraudulent things in our country, so be aware.</blockquote>
