Spend all your time at the spa
One of the biggest mistakes that make the tourists - to spend all your time at the resort or around all major tourist attractions. Resorts make it easy to stay there, they have all the best amenities, good bars, good food, and everything else necessary to keep you there all the time.
But since you've spent all this time, saving money and planning a trip, would not it be nice to get out and really experience the area that you visit? One of the reasons that many tourists do not come out of the resorts and tourist attractions, is that they take them out of their comfort zone. If you are a little walk out of your comfort zone, get away from the resorts and tourist attractions, and step off the tourist trail, you'll find some amazing things and places that will make your trip very memorable. There are all kinds of small restaurants and cafes, shops and undiscovered gems that most tourists never see.
Oversized baggage
Another common mistake made by tourists - it's too much baggage. Thanks to the new rules of airlines regarding checked bags, packing too many bags can also cost you a lot of money. Moreover, too much baggage it costs you a lot of money, it's also a hassle to carry with them. The next time when you are going to go on a trip, anything you want to take, and then leave the house exactly half. Much of what you think you need to take, you can buy on the spot. You also need to leave some space in your luggage when you decide to buy something on vacation and want to bring gifts back home.
Book a hotel far from the center
When viewing the sites booking hotels and find what looks like a decent place to stay at a reasonable price, only then you recognize that you need to take 2 buses and a train to get to the center. While it may be fun, and you can see the local life of the district, but it becomes a pain in the ass when you go back to his apartment late at night. In some places these buses, subways and trains stop running at a certain time, and you'll spend on a taxi. Depending on where you are, a taxi may be the best option. The next time you look at the address, or if the booking site does not offer it, then google the hotel and find out where they are.
Guided only by the guides
Guides - a great helper in the journey. Read what the experts say, because anyone who writes a guide or a blog, is an expert, right? Do you think all of these experts received their information? They walked and talked with the people who live there, and there is a place that people can enjoy. Bit read your area and discover the hidden jewel of the place, which is not in the guidebook. Talk to people in the hotel or restaurant and ask them what they recommend where you can go in the city or nearby and where interesting cafes are located. The local people - the real experts.
A trip to the high season
In high season (read, the tourist season) the lowest prices for tours, because the competition. But if you go to the "off-season", it may happen that this is really not the best time, for example, the rainy season in Asia. Go a few weeks before or after the high season in most places, and there is not much difference except the price. You can get great deals on flights, accommodation and even see a huge crowd of tourists at major tourist attractions, changing the travel time.
Make these a few adjustments in your plan and go to a great trip.
