What do you need to plan for your family trip?

The purpose of family financial planning is to improve the quality of life, enrich the taste of life and increase the value of family property. Go out of the house, see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, explore the long history of the nation, and go abroad if you have the opportunity. Therefore, tourism is an indispensable part of life. It's just a good plan for family finance. According to the statistics of relevant departments, during the National Day holidays from June to 10 and from June to July in 2006, the number of tourists from all over the country exceeded 8 million, and tourism is becoming a popular daily consumption. As a big expense, how can family travel spend less money and see more scenery?

1. Make a travel plan

Plans should be made according to the holidays of family members. Determine the time first, then the place. When choosing a travel target, we should highlight the key points, and then choose other sub-goals along the way with the key target as the center. Then, the travel expenses are estimated. The expenses mainly include transportation fees, scenic spot entrance fees, room and board fees, shopping fees, etc. The budget should leave a little room for emergencies. When making tourism plans, we should make overall plans. Every time we travel, we should cover all the main scenic spots nearby, so as not to overlap with the goals of future travel, lest we have to go to a certain scenic spot alone or become a regret. For example, with Huangshan as the main goal, you can visit Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou and other scenic spots and cities. If you go to Beijing, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and the Ming Tombs should be among the tours. Before a trip, you can make several plans to choose from, which will not only reduce waste, but also enhance the sightseeing effect.

Bring a credit card

Traveling as a family unit costs as little as several thousand yuan and as much as ten thousand yuan at a time. It is troublesome and easy to lose cash, so it is much more convenient to bring a credit card. At present, financial services and credit card merchants in various tourist attractions are relatively developed, and card holding can give full play to its role. Personal card travel can reduce the trouble of carrying cash: you can use credit card to pay for accommodation, catering, shopping and other expenses; You can withdraw cash from different places: you can overdraw consumption.

Step by step instead of "car"

Tourism focuses on being there, personally appreciating and feeling the realm and connotation in the natural and human landscape. With the modernization of tourist areas and the development of urban transportation, some people's tourism has become a kind of "sitting tour". Going out to take a taxi, taking a bus and climbing a mountain by cable car not only costs a lot of money, but also easily loses the true meaning of tourism. Taking steps instead of cars can not only be the most direct sightseeing, but also save a lot of traffic expenses for the month.

4. Accommodation outside the scenic spot

Generally speaking, the cost of accommodation in tourist areas is high, so try to live outside the scenic spots. For example, before arriving at a tourist attraction, you can choose to stay in a town or suburb a few kilometers away from the attraction, and then choose local snacks for dinner. After the tour, you should also choose a place far away from the scenic spots. When traveling, you must eat a hearty breakfast. If you are having lunch in a scenic spot, you'd better bring some convenient food such as bread, ham and purified water, which saves time and money. If you climb Huangshan Mountain, a bowl of noodles on the mountain costs 20 yuan, and a few dollars can bring your own convenience food. Dinner can be rich, so that the body can get enough nutritional supplements. Accommodation outside the scenic spot can generally save 40% of the cost.

5. Choose a hotel skillfully

When traveling abroad, the quality of hotels you stay in will affect the quality of travel and the expenses. It's best to inquire about the place you want to go before going out, and it's best to find a hotel, because the unit hotel has many "benefits" and guarantees. The most taboo is to find hotels near stations, docks and airports. These places attract a lot of people to the accommodation business, and many of them are "slaughtering" people.

6. Choose a good tourist route

Any scenic spot is composed of several scenic spots, but when advertising, travel agencies often only mark two important scenic spots in the tourist route, and do not completely mark all the contents of the tourist route, which leads to the randomness of the travel agency's route arrangement. When tourists choose a tourist route. Must be careful. Before traveling, ask the tour group about the accommodation standard in detail; Ask how many people eat at each table and what the price is; Besides the big tickets for tourist attractions, what other small tickets are included? For example, whether going up the mountain includes ropeway tickets for going up and down the mountain and other details. We should seriously study whether the routes provided by travel agencies are reasonable. Whether there is a "shrinking" phenomenon, it is also necessary to know whether there are loopholes in the details of services provided by travel agencies. If it's really worth it, it's worth spending a few more dollars.
