Do you the
frustration and sadness you felt when the traveling plan went unsuccessful?
And a lot of
times our plans can`t be carried out because of the unpopular opinions about
travelling.
Thus, we are
here to clear your misunderstandings so that your next plan can be executed
well.
Myth # 1
Traveling
Is Expensive
Myth: I can`t afford the traveling as it`s expensive and goes out of my budget
Reality:
There are many places, both locally or internationally, which will not cost you
an arm and leg. Moreover, you have to plan smartly; if you stay in luxurious
hotels and want to enjoy the finest dining, it will be trouble for you. But
suppose you stay at a local hotel and enjoy street food. In that case, it will
not only be a pocket-friendly solution but also will be an adventurous and
fun-filled experience.
Myth # 2
Traveling
can be unsafe in unpopular areas
Myth: Individuals believe that traveling to less explored areas has its
security threats
Reality: Media, primarily social
media, sometimes portray a negative image of many countries. They are some
parts of countries in the world you avoid traveling to. But not all the less
traveled areas are unsafe.
It would be
best to take precautions while traveling, such as wearing heavy jewelry and
keeping money in different places.
Myth # 3
Duty-Free
Shops are Cheap
Myth: I can shop duty-free. It may be a pocket-friendly solution.
Reality: The duty-free shop can be the
biggest temptation for you, and you can find everything under one roof. They
are tax-free, but sometimes they get expensive from the local shop to you. It
is good that you have to do profound research before shopping from a local
store or duty-free shop.
Myth # 4
Locals
know better
Myth: I can ask the natives about the best place to visit also about the
hotels and food.
Reality: Locals often don`t know enough
about the site or don`t see things from the tourist`s perspective. For example,
they do not know the best accommodation place or do not find local food tasty.
Hence it is best to ask other travelers for recommendations.
Myth
# 5
if I
stayed in a luxurious hotel. I will have an authentic holiday experience
Myth: Expensive hotels are better.
Reality: If your ideal holiday includes
staying in a 5-star hotel and having a luxurious experience, go for it. But
always remember that you are there to explore the countries, so it`s better to
spend on visiting places rather than on accommodation. Thus, our advice is you
should look for hotels which have necessities and are in a safe location.
Myth # 6
I can do
currency exchange at the airport
Myth: I can exchange the currency at the airport. It will cost me
nothing.
Reality: They exchange the money at the
airport without any charges. But they charge the built-in amount. However, your
bank often offers you to use debit aboard, which has a 10% better exchange, but
you must pay some amount. On the other hand, if you plan your trip, you can
exchange the money for foreign currency from your local bank, and it will not
charge any fee.
Myth # 7
Hotels
are less expensive if you book from a local agency
Myth: If I book my hotel in advance, it will cost me less.
Reality: The
local agencies indeed offer you an affordable rate. Still, it is becoming
difficult with time. If by and they don`t provide such services. However, you
can enjoy many perks if you book directly, such as free Wi-Fi upgraded food.
The second risk of booking directly will be that the agency does not transfer
your reservation.
Myth # 8
Packages
cost me less
Myth: If I booked a package, it would cost me much lesser than booking
separately.
In reality, you
will be amazed at the wonderful packages. It might seem that it will cost you
less at first glance because they are present. Your attention is automatically
driven to that. Still, this is not the case. You should calculate each one
separately and then decide which option is best for you.
