No ${kwargs.type || 'private'} tours for "${query}"

Error message

No ${kwargs.type || 'private'} tours for "${query}"

What it means

This EmptyResultError means the tour search page explicitly reported 'no routes found' for the query (result.status === 'empty'), i.e. Trip.com has no matching tours for that destination and tour type. It is a clean no-match signal, deliberately separated from schema-drift and captcha cases.

Solutions

1. Try the other --type value (group vs private) — availability differs per tab.
2. Simplify or correct the destination query string.
3. Search a nearby major city that has tour inventory.
4. Catch EmptyResultError and treat it as an empty result set in your application.

Example fix

// before
await tripTour({ query: 'Hallstatt', type: 'group' }); // no group tours
// after
try {
  return await tripTour({ query: 'Hallstatt', type: 'private' });
} catch (e) {
  if (e.name === 'EmptyResultError') return [];
  throw e;
}

// sanity-check the query before spending a page load
if (!query || query.trim().length < 3) throw new Error('provide a meaningful destination name');

function isPlausibleDestination(q) { return typeof q === 'string' && q.trim().length >= 3; }

try {
  const rows = await tourSearch(query, type);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof EmptyResultError) return [];
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling tour search with a destination that has zero private (or group, per --type) tours on Trip.com, or a misspelled/obscure query that matches no tour products.

Common situations: Small towns or attractions Trip.com doesn't sell tours for; using --type=group in a market where only private tours exist; localized transliterations that match nothing.
