I'm proofreading a translation, and the translator used 'modular tours'. I am from the US and the translation should be in BE, but I can't find much evidence that "modular tours" is the appropriate term. Any ideas?

Here's what Baukastenreise means:
"...für Reisende, die eine sogenannte Baukastenreise planen (also die Kombination von Flügen mit Wohnmobil und/oder Mietwagen ganz gleich ob mit Zweirad- oder Allradantrieb) oder..."
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 4 hrs (2011-09-16 05:26:38 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Einzelne Leistungen wie Flug, Hotel, Mietwagen, Motorhome etc., welche durch Ihr Reisebüro aus einem Prospekt eines Reiseveranstalters oder direkt über die Leistungsträger individuell zusammengestellt und gebucht werden, sind Einzelpauschal- oder Baukastenreisen. Sie gelten nach dem Gesetz als Pauschalreisen. Dasselbe gilt auch für Kreuzfahrten.

pick and mix holidays
Another option, I think the onus is on the customer to choose - this isn't matched with options like "customise or tailor-made" as the onus is on the travel firm here.
