Travel basics

Try to carry as little cash as possible on your trip, don't put money in your luggage, keep it with you. Don't leave valuables in the room. It's best to shop in regular stores, you'll need an invoice to prove your purchase. When trying on shoes, it’s best to ask a friend from the same group to accompany you and take care of things.

Passports, visas, ID cards, credit cards, plane tickets and other important documents should be carried with you and kept properly. Before you leave, you'd better put a copy in your handbag and the original in your underwear pocket. Don't make any promises easily when you check. You must report to the team leader. If the leader is not present, you can ask the other party to show his ID card or work permit, otherwise he should refuse. If the other party is a police officer, you should also write down your ID number, police badge number, and car number.

Tourists should keep all possible supporting materials during travel, such as travel contracts, travel invoices, attraction tickets, medical documents, etc. Rather than just making verbal promises. If necessary, consumers can record the negotiation process with the travel agency in the form of audio recording for later use. Infringements should be reported promptly to travel agencies, consumer associations, tourism quality supervision offices and other institutions.

Seven Taboos in Travel

1. Avoid visiting flowers. The purpose of travel is to delight the body and mind and increase your knowledge. If you go to a place without carefully observing and appreciating the local customs, you will lose the meaning of travel.

2. Avoid having too much luggage. It makes no sense to take too much stuff with you when traveling. It was a burden on our trip. It’s not convenient to move around with it; it’s not safe to leave it in a hotel. So I advocate a one-bag policy: just one large backpack for all your luggage.

3. Avoid trouble. The place you travel is never your own land. It is better to restrain your brute force and domineering power.

4. Avoid distracting activities. If traveling in a group, it is best not to have its own program, but at least keep the number of two or three people dispersed before the event. Never go out alone!

5. Avoid being separated from money people and having multiple thoughts, so be careful.

6. Avoid bringing children. Children always need the care of adults so that adults can fully enjoy the fun of traveling.

7. Avoid unknown geography. Every time you go to a place, buy a local map. One for emergency use when you get lost. Second, it can be kept as a souvenir.

What knowledge do you need to know for traveling? Now, let me share with you the travel knowledge you need to know when traveling outside the nest.

1 When traveling among green mountains and green waters, you must learn to walk. Those who have mastered the walking sutra play easily, happily, and safely; otherwise, you are tired, nervous, and even injured.

If you want to walk, don't. Don't jump three steps to two steps or jump, as it will increase the burden on your knees and ankles and easily make you tired or injured.

3. Don’t walk at a constant speed to save energy and help maintain a good mentality; walking in a hurry is the most tiring way.

4 Go quickly and come back slowly. You can walk faster in the morning and slower in the evening to avoid straining your joints and tendons.

5 When going up or down the mountain, take the stone steps and avoid slopes. This is more in line with mechanical and physiological requirements, safe and labor-saving.

6 Walking on hard surfaces such as cement, asphalt, and slate is more energy-saving and safer than walking on soft surfaces such as grass, river beaches, and wetlands.

7 If you want to avoid slipping, for the sake of safety, I would rather take a detour from rough snow slopes and grass slopes than from slippery and dangerous ice slopes and sand slopes.

8 Travel hygiene and protection knowledge

Heatstroke

The main symptoms of heatstroke are sweating, thirst, dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, chest tightness, nausea, and vomiting , fever, severe cases may even cause unconsciousness. People who stay in a hot and humid environment for a long time are prone to heatstroke. Therefore, tour guides should pay attention to the balance of work and rest during midsummer travel to prevent tourists from activities under the scorching sun for a long time. If someone suffers from heatstroke, they can be placed in a cool and ventilated place, lie flat, unbutton their collars, and loosen their belts; if conditions permit, they are allowed to drink salty drinks. Those with fevers should wipe their bodies with cold water or alcohol to dissipate heat, and take necessary measures. Heatstroke prevention and cooling measures

Food poisoning is very harmful to the human body. Its symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea, and it is characterized by acute onset, rapid onset, and short incubation period. If not treated promptly, it can be life-threatening. If tourists are found to have food poisoning, they can drink more water to alleviate the toxicity. Severe cases will be sent to the hospital immediately for rescue. Food poisoning is caused by unhygienic diet. Tour guides should always remind tourists not to eat food from street vendors.

Rupture

Tourists with fractures must be sent to the hospital for treatment in time, but at the scene, the tour guide must do a good job: stop the bleeding first. Commonly used hemostasis methods include hand pressure, which is to use fingers, palms, and fists to press the blood vessels near the wound to stop bleeding; pressure bandaging, which is to put a thick dressing on the wound and wrap it with a bandage; and tourniquet method, which is to use an elastic tourniquet. Stop the bleeding from the large blood vessels near the wound's heart. The second is bandaging. It is best to clean the wound before bandaging it. When bandaging, the movements should be gentle, the tightness should be moderate, and the knot of the bandage should not be at the wound. The third is to put on the splint. Use partial splints to immobilize the joints at both ends to avoid rotating the fractured limb.

Heart attack

When a visitor has a heart attack, do not rush to lift or carry him to the hospital. Instead, he should lie on his back with his head slightly elevated. The patient's relatives, tour guide or fellow travelers will look for the spare medicine in the patient's pocket and let him take it away. At the same time, local escorts should immediately run to a nearby clinic to find a doctor for treatment, and then send them to the hospital after their condition stabilizes.

Scorpion and bee stings

If a tourist is stung by a scorpion or bee, the tour guide should try to pull out the stinger, suck out the venom with your mouth or straw, and then, if conditions permit, Wash the wound with soapy water, 5% soda water or 3% dilute ammonia, and take painkillers. If the tour guide or tourists know something about Chinese herbal medicine, they can use large and small leaves, mint leaves, Liangmianzhen, etc. external use. Severe cases should be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Head Bruises

Maybe you don’t have to worry too much if you collide with someone else or fall and hit a big bag, but if you have a high fever, vomiting, cramps, or If clear body fluids (serum, hydrocephalus) appear, you should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

1. In addition to the swollen area, cold compresses should also be applied to other parts of the head. But when there is a wound, it will not be treated in this way to avoid encouraging bacterial growth.

2. If bleeding or clear fluid (serum, hydrocephalus) comes from the ears, nose or mouth, turn your face in the direction of the blood or fluid. Be careful not to plug it with gauze or other things to avoid bacterial infection.

3. When vomiting, place your head sideways to prevent vomitus from stagnating.

4. When spasm occurs, do not press the injured limb arbitrarily. Roll a handkerchief into a tube and stuff it into the patient's body to calm it down.

5. When handling the injured, fix the head and do not shake it.

Neck injuries

1. The neck has the trachea, esophagus and nerves and is an important part of the human body. When it is hit, it should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

2. In order to inhibit internal bleeding, cold compress should be applied to the affected area.

3. When external bleeding is found, apply sterile gauze to the wound to stop bleeding.

4. When lying down, keep your body flat and never use pillows.

5. Keep your head fixed when moving.

Back abrasions

1. Let the injured person lie on his back on a hard board, put pillows on the neck and waist to maintain the natural curvature of the spine. Do not sit or sit cross-legged.

2. When moving, the neck must also be fixed at the same time, and the bed should be avoided from shaking when transporting.

Chest abrasions

1. When it hits the chest, there will be a risk of fractures or difficulty breathing. You should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible.

2. Cold compress treatment.

3. Let the patient lie quietly on the thick quilt, with the chest on the painful side facing down.

Travel safety common sense

Look at the three-certificate travel agency that has complete procedures.

When traveling, you should first choose a good travel agency, paying special attention to whether the three certificates of the travel agency (business license, business license, tax registration certificate) are complete, and pay special attention to the business scope of the travel agency. Domestic travel agencies can only operate domestic tourism business, while international tourism

To choose a good destination and travel with a travel agency, it is best to purchase a travel accident insurance in advance. Many insurance companies now offer this kind of insurance. For a trip of about 10 days, the insurance cost is generally less than 10 yuan, and the insured amount is usually tens of thousands of yuan. All travel agencies now have compulsory travel agency liability insurance, which only covers the loss of tourists and the loss of life and property caused by the travel agency. If tourists are traveling by car, it is best to familiarize themselves with the road conditions leading to the scenic spot in advance. Check the vehicle's safety equipment before departure, prepare appropriate emergency plans, and have one or two experienced drivers.

Sign a contract, ask for and keep invoices

Sign a contract with a travel agency, ask for and keep relevant invoices. Tourists should carefully read the terms of the contract and specify in detail where disputes and controversies are likely to occur, such as what kind of transportation they will take. If it is a car, it depends on whether it is a domestic car or an imported car, whether it is an air-conditioned car or a regular car, how new it is, and the skill level of the driver. If you take a train, it depends on whether it is a local train or an express train, and whether it has hard seats, hard sleepers, or soft sleepers. Ask about drive times and arrival times. The standard of accommodation is several stars, whether it is a guest house or a star hotel. Don't believe in quasi-celebrities; the catering standards stipulate a few breakfasts. How much does a child cost? Does it include beds and transport seats etc? During the tour, if transportation is late, you may not visit some attractions or transfer to other means of transportation. Are there any alternatives or compensatory measures?

Know the weather conditions at your destination in advance

Know the weather conditions at your travel destination in advance. Especially in summer, some places are prone to severe weather such as heavy rains, mudslides or typhoons, which will not only cause traffic delays, but also make it impossible to travel as planned, and even cause loss of life and property. Before traveling, be sure to understand the recent weather conditions at your destination and take preventive measures.

Don’t worry too much about travel prices.

Don’t worry too much about travel prices. If the travel agency's price is set too low before departure, the travel agency may lower the standards for vehicles, accommodation, etc. During the tour, reduce the number of tourist attractions and increase the number of self-funded attractions to make up for losses. The prices of some domestic tourist routes are extremely low, and citizens will join them if they think they are cheap.

But after arriving at the tourist destination, the tour guide may force you to shop, or ask you to go shopping on the street, or lock you in the car and turn off the air conditioner. In the end, you will have to spend more money, causing you to pay with money. When signing a contract, you should find out which fees are included in the price and which fees need to be paid separately.

It’s best for the teacher to travel together.

Teachers and students usually have little travel experience, so it is best to go together with a few people during the summer vacation so that they can take care of each other in case of an accident. Pay attention to the smooth flow of communication tools, pay attention to complaints and phone calls from the local tourism department before going out, and solve any problems in a timely manner.
