Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from 'vacation' (a trip or period of leisure) combined with 'package' (a bundled set of items or services); learners can infer it refers to a bundled set of travel services sold together. This noun–noun compounding pattern is common in English and many other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will typically understand the phrase.
Etymology
Vacation package comes from the picture of a wrapped package or box that holds everything for a trip. Travel companies put flights, a hotel and activities into one 'package' and sell them together for one price, so the phrase means a set of travel services sold as one deal.
