Please, what is the difference between:

- Travel and trip;

- Sightseeing tour and a package tour

And what is the correct form: The hotels prices (or) the hotels' prices and why? 

Thanks,

Watusa

 Travel is the (usually) uncountable noun for the general experience of moving around; trip is a particular countable instance of travelI love travel-- my next trip is to Botswana.

A sightseeing tour can be done alone or with friends or on a package tour, which is an arranged group tour including transportation and accommodation and some meals (the 'package').

The hotels' prices or the hotel prices.  The first is plural possessive and the latter is the noun as adjective.  Since hotels are not sentient, I recommend the hotel prices.
