Rules of a choice of high-quality rest abroad
Need a break abroad cheaply and with full comfort?
Those who answered "Yes" - the people who first started thinking about such a holiday. After all, to combine all these qualities are very difficult. Before you arrange a vacation so you will have to seriously play a game of accountants, economists and even the leaders of the planning department.
And the jokes here does no good. The fact that a person brings in the concept of "good rest" three main components: a comfortable, safe and inexpensive. But since there is no a priori! Because, if expensive, the concept of "comfort" is tnositelnym. And if you comfortably and safely - then a low cost and can be no question. This is the one stumbling block in relations with customers by tour operators. After all, Ukrainians want "for free" to live in a 5-star hotel abroad and relax by the program "all inclusive".
"If a customer has a limited budget, we find it appropriate to the requirements of a hotel in Turkey or in Egypt - very hard - the director of travel agency" Happy vacations "Irina Silchenko. - In addition, customers do not consider, or rather do not know all the features of the countries in which they want to go. For example, in the same Montenegro is not a tourist recreation programs such as "all inclusive". You will provide travel and accommodation with minimal power. All the rest - at his own expense. "
But this is not the only thing that a beginner needs to know the tourist. We try to understand what it takes to himself not to spoil the rest abroad.
Priorities
Going to a foreign resort, first of all, prioritize how and under what conditions you want to relax and be willing to pay for what their money.
In other words, the tourist should decide that it is more important: quiet slumber on the beach, surrounded by the same lazy people, or a bustling "summer camp" on the beach, where the bed does not fit, and vacationers around the clock are in the center of typhoon energy whimsical fun of youth.
It is also important, and such facts as the level of comfort in the hotel kitchen and purpose of your holiday - a honeymoon or a vacation with children and so on.
If you're used to the spartan living conditions, ready to stomp on the beach walking a mile, your stomach digests even the nails, you do not care about the fact that under the windows of your hotel in the morning shouting merchants, and you decide to just "come off" abroad - it is quite can count on an inexpensive ticket.
"All these questions concerning the conditions, the manager asks the man who first came to the agency to book a tourist trip. The more questions in line, the more people will find out for himself what he wants to rest, "a" and the more likely that he would hold it as planned, - said Irina Silchenko. - It is possible to order a ticket to a super-doroguschy price, but get to the resort, where the rest older millionaires, and die of boredom. A manager should thoroughly "with prejudice" to "interrogation" of the client, then to a customer complained that "this is not what he wanted"
Insurance
Every travel company "automatically" gives coverage for so-called "batch" tours.
Here we have to stipulate that the insurance-it is not required and the tour operator has no right to impose your insurance company, which works.
You can insure yourself or ask your tour manager to insure you at a specific company. But! If insurance is not mandatory, it does not mean that it is not necessary. Because God forbid you get sick overseas or injure yourself! Treated "over the hill" for their money - oh-oh-oh-oh-ry expensive. And insurance, which costs 100 hryvnia, covers, in case of need for medical care and services worth about 30,000 euros.
"One of the main tasks of the manager travel agency - it is strongly convince tourists that the insurance it needed, - the head of travel agencies" Happy vacations ". - In any case, in order to, as they say, to sleep peacefully and not worry about that in case of emergency in the foreign resort, you'll have to give doctors all the money been laid to rest. "
Note that a separate item used to be "insurance against cancellation of the tour." That is, if a client suddenly changed his mind and wants to return the money. Today there is no such insurance.
"Travel insurance refused such as tours purchased by agencies in advance, and this whole chain of responsibility. The Ukrainian tour operators to the monopoly of tourist industry, which bought out tours to assists companies that offer health insurance, and so on, - said Irina Silchenko. - Because we are forced to prescribe in the treaties, that all tours "irrevocable." Otherwise, just would have been chaos. There are, however, individual tours, in the treaties to which states that in case of failure the client can receive from the travel agency is not more than 10% of the tour. But they are very rare. "
Legitimacy
For these words lies the terrible truth about the "scammers" in the field of tourism and poor-quality care.
"From the" throw "no one is safe. If a major tour operator, which owns hotels, charters, resorts and tour operators selling trips to different, suddenly decides to "fail", taking with him millions of dollars, paid in advance customers, then return the money is unrealistic. Unfortunately, it is a fact. However, such cases in recent years have been one. Much more important to the client to examine the original data tour operators - said Irina. - To begin with, coming into the office travel agency, pay attention to the "buyer's Corner" - stand on the wall, which must be posted a certificate of registration showing the date of registration. This information will help the client understand how long the agency has been working in this field. Also - a copy of the license to engage in such activity. The most important thing in this license - it is the actual address of the agency to which you applied. If the address on the license and the office do not match - so it's not pure. "
Finally I want to say that distinguish a good tour of the dubious you can on a simple principle: if the manager to whom you asked, calmly listens to you, trying to help you choose the right package, tour the country, according to your wishes and preferences - then you come to the right place.
And if you try to beat the brains achievements travel agency praise hotels, tours, country and entertain with tales of positive feedback from their customers, instead of helping to understand your preferences - think about it, whether you come back?

Thus, the tour operator is engaged in the full range of organizational issues, and the travel agent sells tours. As a general rule, travel agency has a wide selection of tours from a variety of tour operators. It is important to understand that the tour of the different operators have different costs, as well as other information such as departure time, the terms of recreation, quality of service. It's no secret that the low cost round matches, or low quality services. If a customer buys a ticket, the travel agency employees are required to provide information about what the client expects to arrive in the country holiday, even if that value the quality of services is very low.
