- journeys which do not qualify as package or related tourist services;
For example, only the reservation of a tourist accommodation (a separate tourist service) is offered.

For example, a one-day trip – a trip to Lithuania without overnight stays.
- tourism services offered only on a case-by-case basis, without a profit-making purpose and only for a limited group of travellers;
For example, journeys organised no more than a few times a year by educational establishments, football clubs (associations) for their members, without offering to other travellers, without a profit-making purpose.
- services provided on the basis of a general contract for the organisation of business trips;
For example, a contract has been entered into between the tourism operator and the merchant undertaking regarding the provision of tourism services to employees of the undertaking for the provision of official missions.
