Tips for Traveling During Long Holidays
When traveling during long holidays, what should citizens pay attention to? Travel tips: Before departure, tourists must not neglect the "tour group briefing session"; nor should they skip buying "personal accident insurance" just to save money.
Reminder One
Be Sure to Attend the "Briefing Session"
According to data provided by travel agencies such as GZL International Travel Service: before departure, the "briefing session," especially for some outbound tour routes, generally has 30% of tourists absent. This leads to frequent "accidents" before departure, thus delaying the group's departure time. For example, some tourists forget to bring a valid bank card; others bring luggage that is not allowed to enter the destination... And these "details to note" are actually specifically mentioned at the "briefing session." Experts all say: the "tour group briefing session" is where professional tour leaders introduce the itinerary arrangements, features, and provide targeted instruction on special precautions. Tourists must not take the "briefing session" lightly, especially regarding requirements for checked luggage, the address and phone card of the hotel where they will stay, the tour leader's mobile number, and the tour bus license plate number. Be sure to listen carefully.
Reminder Two
Voluntarily Buy Travel Accident Insurance
Experts told reporters that the insurance purchased by travel agencies is travel agency liability insurance, not tourists' travel accident insurance. During the trip, if a tourist has an accident or is injured for personal reasons, if they bought travel accident insurance before the trip, they can also obtain relevant compensation from the insurance company. At present, for general outbound travel, coverage of 200,000 yuan requires a premium of 85 yuan; for domestic travel, coverage of 200,000 yuan requires about 40 yuan. "Therefore, before traveling, tourists had better take the initiative to buy travel accident insurance. Spending a few dozen yuan can buy yourself one more layer of protection."
Reminder Three: Carry Several Extra "Cards"
"When traveling abroad, try to carry as little cash as possible," said Wen Qian, deputy general manager of the marketing headquarters of GZL International Travel Service, offering tips to tourists: "At present, many shops, duty-free stores, and restaurants overseas accept credit card payments, and you can even withdraw cash from ATMs. So you might as well travel light with your wallet and carry several extra 'cards' instead of large amounts of cash."
