Anschlussreise

English translation: (optional) add-on tour

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Tourism & Travel
German term or phrase: Anschlussreise
Diese Reise ist auch buchbar als Anschlussreise zu den Olympischen Spielen in Beijing.

'Connection to'? - That doesn't sound right, does it?

'This can also be booked soon after the Olympic games in Beijing ' - This version sounds better to me, but I dont know if I am conveying what it truly means.

Thanks!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for the quick answer Johanna! Else where in the same text: Aufgrund der Olympischen Spielen keine Verfügbarkeiten zu diesem Zeitraum. Dann nur buchbar als Anschlussreise zu einem Olympischen Spiel-Aufenthalt. In this event, add-on wouldn't fit would it? Because 'add-on' means 'in addition to' whatever has already been booked, doesn't it?

Asker: I really do like the suggestion though...

Explanation:
is how I'd word it; it sounds good, and it's pretty obvious that it's a "trip", so you really don't need to tramslate that bit of it!
