Eight common knowledge for traveling

1. How to choose a travel agency
Currently, there are countless travel agencies of all sizes in China, and the various advertisements make it difficult for people to make a decision. Therefore, when registering for a travel agency, special attention should be paid to whether the agency has a "Travel Agency Business Operation License" and a "Business License". If both licenses are complete, it indicates that the agency has paid the travel agency quality guarantee deposit and its business is supervised and protected by the tourism administrative management department. If the rights and interests of tourists are infringed and damaged, claims can only be guaranteed. Tourists should choose travel agencies that have a unified "Business License" issued by the Administration for Industry and Commerce, a unified "Travel Agency Business Operation License" issued by the Tourism Administration, and clearly marked prices when participating in tourism

2. Choose a suitable destination
There are many tourist destinations available both domestically and internationally. It is important to choose a suitable tourist destination based on one's own time, economic situation, and physical condition (passport, visa, and other documents should be obtained in advance when traveling abroad).
. Choosing a tourist destination should be based on one's ability, and not just on hotlines and long-distance routes, as these routes cost relatively more and require longer time. The line is too long and may not be able to withstand the physical needs of the elderly and children, so a decision should be made after considering all aspects comprehensively

3. What kind of travel method to choose?
Currently, there are three main ways to travel: backpack travel, self guided travel, and participating in travel clubs. Among these three ways of traveling, joining a travel club for tourism should be relatively better. It not only allows you to enjoy various ticket discounts and promotions, but also eliminates the worries of food, accommodation, transportation, and travel. It is both economical and worry free. When traveling abroad, most people are not familiar with tourist attractions. What places are most worth seeing, what their significance is, and how long should be arranged for which attractions? There is a difference between having a tour guide and not having one. In addition, travel agencies generally have cooperation agreements with scenic spots for dining, accommodation, etc., which not only ensures the quality of accommodation and meals for tourists, but also greatly saves time. So, if you want to have fun and worry free, participating in a travel agency's group tour should be the best choice

4. Selection of Route Prices
Currently, there are two main forms of travel agency quotes: one is full package, which includes all expenses for food, accommodation, transportation, and sightseeing (including attraction tickets); Another type of semi package price (including partial expenses). Therefore, when choosing, tourists cannot only consider the price, the key is to ask whether the services provided are thoughtful. In addition, many travel itineraries have "self funded projects", and tourists must understand which ones are self funded in advance and write them in the contract remarks. If one only covets the cheap prices advertised without considering other factors, it will ultimately be the tourists themselves who suffer losses

Fifth, choose transportation according to one's own conditions
Transportation is not only directly related to the cost of travel, but also very important throughout the entire journey, especially for tourists who have different ages, physical conditions, economic conditions, and travel time. It is important to pay attention to choosing the transportation that suits oneself

6. How to sign a contract
Tourists should sign a formal travel contract with the travel agency, because the contract is an important basis for ensuring that the legitimate rights and interests of tourists are not infringed. Its content involves many specific aspects of the journey, such as travel schedules, transportation and standards, dining and accommodation standards, shopping and entertainment arrangements, etc. If there are any problems during the trip due to the travel agency's reasons, tourists can claim compensation based on this

7. Essential items to carry
Before going out, make a list of what you need to carry to avoid feeling flustered if you bring too little or too little before departure. In addition, the climate of the destination should also be considered in order to prepare thick and thin clothing; Carry an appropriate amount of money with you and do not put it in a handbag. It is best to wear a pocket sized piece of clothing close to your body to keep it safe; Carry some commonly used first aid medications such as band aids, cold clearing, etc; Finally, don't forget to bring your contact list, ID card, passport, and other valid documents. If possible, it's best to prepare a map of the tourist destination

Eighth, pay attention to safety
Finally, it is important to remind travelers to pay attention to safety during their travels, to keep their money and belongings safe, and to maintain a certain distance when interacting with strangers, especially when taking a plane. Be especially careful and cautious when getting on and off the bus, as well as when playing or hiking, to avoid accidents
