What should I pay attention to when taking my parents on a self-help tour abroad?

When you take your parents abroad, safety must be the first priority, so it is not recommended to go to a very small and biased country. Before going abroad, you must know some information about relevant countries:

First of all, understand the local folk customs:

There are various customs in foreign countries. When you get there, you must respect the local customs, especially some taboos. For example, children in Thailand can't touch their heads, and children in India can't hold their heads. Don't feel like a foreigner and do whatever you want without understanding local customs.

Second, the personal and property safety of foreigners:

1. When you leave the hotel, be sure to ask for the hotel business card so that you can ask for directions by bus.

Take care of your travel documents and personal belongings, and don't put valuables in the checked baggage when flying. Cameras, video cameras and camera batteries should not be checked.

3. Pay attention to the driving direction of cars in various countries to ensure traffic safety.

When going out, it is safer to store valuables in the safe at the reception desk of the hotel than in the room. Generally, the reception desk of a hotel has such a safe, which can store valuables for guests free of charge.

When you go shopping alone abroad, you must bring the right amount of money. Because many people in China are not used to using credit cards, traveler's checks and other means of payment, they always like to bring a lot of cash. Therefore, some foreign robbers specialize in robbing China people.

6. Once you get lost or encounter an emergency abroad, you can ask the police or contact the local embassy in China for help as soon as possible.

Third, pay attention to the way:

1. Due to the differences of food culture in different countries, do as the Romans do and respect local eating habits. When you enjoy the buffet, you should be frugal and don't waste it. In foreign countries, mainly cold drinking water. If you need hot water or tea, you can call the waiter, but you need to pay a tip.

2. Accommodation: When you check out, you should pay for the drinks, food, toiletries, long-distance calls and other expenses provided in the room.

3. The main means of transportation during the tour is the tourist bus, so you should consciously maintain the public health in the car.

4. Be careful when shopping. Fake and shoddy products are not only found in China.

In fact, many domestic tourists are not used to buying travel insurance, but outbound travel is particularly important. Risks such as lost luggage should be guarded against, and Schengen countries even have rigid requirements. Overseas travel insurance mostly protects personal safety and luggage.

Fourth, paid services.

Enjoying service and tipping has become a part of foreign culture. Airports and hotels all over the world take care of the baggage handling fees and tips themselves, so as to know the payment situation in the hotel room, what is in the hotel room and what is not. Some TV programs in the room are paid, and most things in the refrigerator are paid after use.
