If I understand you correct, you can use Many-To-Many relationship according to the doc. But it implies that each TourPackage model may have many tags against only one as in your example.

You should use something like this

class Tag(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)             

class TourPackage(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    package_detail = models.TextField()
    image = models.ImageField()
    booking_start = models.DateTimeField()
    booking_end= = models.DateTimeField()
    package_start = models.DateTimeField()
    #how  can i save this tag field for seo purpose
    tags = models.ManyToManyField('Tag')

And then

tp = TourPackage(...)
tag1 = Tag.objects.create(name='tag1')
tag2 = Tag.objects.create(name='tag2')
tp.tags.add(tag1)
tp.tags.add(tag1)
tp.save()

I advice to make use of a package, like for example django-taggit [GitHub], this implements a many-to-many field, but with some extra tooling to make managing tags more convenient.

You can install the package, for example with the pip package manager in your virtual environment:

pip install django-taggit

In your settings.py, you then add 'taggit' to the INSTALLED_APPS:

# settings.py

# …

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # …,
    'taggit',
    # …,
]

Then you can add a TaggableManager to your model:

from taggit.managers import TaggableManager

class TourPackage(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    package_detail = models.TextField()
    image = models.ImageField()
    booking_start = models.DateTimeField()
    booking_end = models.DateTimeField()
    package_start = models.DateTimeField()

    tag = TaggableManager()

Of course this will not add the tags to the page. You will need to write <meta> tags in your templates to add meta information.
