Why use a free element?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A free element<\/strong> is designed to add extra information<\/strong> outside the standard day structure of your tour. Think of an informational message such as \u201cYou have arrived at the next destination and tomorrow you will go on an excursion\u201d or general notes that are not directly tied to a specific day.<\/span><\/p>\n

In most cases, showing a date or day number isn\u2019t necessary, since it\u2019s primarily meant as an informational block.But if you do want to link the context to a specific day or date, you can enable this via the Show dates in output option.<\/span><\/p>\n
