How to bring my parents together for a trip?

speaking of traveling with parents, how many times can you have? If your parents are 5 years old now, generally speaking, around 7 years old is not suitable for long-distance travel. Traveling twice a year for 2 years, the world is so big that you can only go to 4 places. Apart from getting older and older, distant countries such as Europe and the United States are getting worse, countries that are too hot and too cold are getting worse, and places with high altitude and low pressure are getting worse. What is left?

Young people all like to take a trip, but does anyone remember to take their parents with them? I always feel that my parents can't keep up with their own thoughts and progress, because they have pushed you all over the world for decades and stayed at home. Don't let your parents' life in their later years be three blocks away from home. Don't always think about having a trip that they say and leave. Parents should also go to see the bigger world, and then they will never care about nagging you again, OK?

this manual is suitable for parents and their families who are over 5 years old and under 7 years old, who seldom travel and have little experience in personal travel. Give 5-1% of the annual income to parents to travel every year, both at home and abroad, and do what you can

1 Choose a travel agency or travel independently?

Personally, please choose a travel agency at first, and it is a tour group with good credit and normal price, both at home and abroad, with the main purpose of building interest and self-confidence in travel. At the same time, the tour group can eat, live and travel in one train, without extra worry, which is very suitable for the elderly. Free travel is really not suitable for the elderly, unless there is an old lady who walks with you.

2 how to choose the right tour group?

1) Don't choose a particularly cheap tour route. For example, a five-day trip to 28 yuan in Hong Kong is endless, and no one will pity you if you are tricked into complaining when you buy fake goods. Expensive is always better than cheap, as long as you don't buy a luxury group, it is a good group that is generally cheaper than free travel. For example, the price of going to Sri Lanka for free travel on May 1 is about 1W, and I sign up for a group tour of 77, so this price is still OK. After a trip, the food, shelter and transportation are perfect, the old people are relaxed and not tired, and the young people are also very cool to shop and bask in the sun. Low prices are always linked to low costs, and five-star hotels will never hang out the price of home, no matter how many people you stay in. Remember this truth, don't let your parents play too shabby.

2) Choose a big travel agency or one recommended by friends. Usually, you should pay attention to accumulation and look for resources from local travel agencies. It's best to accompany the first 1-2 outings. Old people who don't travel much will be nervous and at a loss when they go out for the first time. It will be much safer to have children in their hearts, at least they won't panic and be afraid of doing something wrong. Let parents build up their independence and problem-solving ability in their hearts, and focus on building interest in travel, and don't hit the elderly and lose their temper at will.

3) We have identified several reliable travel agencies and made them perennial choices. We will let you know if there is a suitable group for the elderly by establishing a good relationship with them. The advantage of knowing people is that you can guarantee the most valuable travel route, and the travel agency is also familiar with your family habits and easy to take care of, so that the elderly can feel more at ease.

4) Be familiar with the travel agency's route before going out. If you have time, you can check the introduction of the scenic spots you want to visit. Ask the travel agency if it has any shopping arrangements, if so, where to go and what to buy, so as to be ready to buy or not. If you happen to have something to buy, you can tell the old man in advance, so that the old man will feel more at ease when shopping.

5) Now there is a concept called "tail tour group", which is very popular, that is, when the number of tour groups is still short for one or two days, the price will be greatly reduced. For example, a few days ago, I saw that a single tour group was a 12-day tour of six European countries, with the original price of 13, and the tail tour group of 8,5. Is this simply too cheap? This kind of tail tour group is now available in every travel agency, and some of them specialize in this. You can search for it yourself.

3 Attitude towards shopping

1) There are shopping groups and no shopping groups in tour groups. Generally, boutique groups have no shopping, and the cheaper they are, the more they shop. It seems that everyone thinks that shopping is cheating money when it comes to shopping. In fact, this concept should be changed. If the shopping place that I take you to happens to be the place where you want to buy things, such as arranging cosmetics duty-free shops and electrical duty-free shops in Japan, this is actually just what you want. Nowadays, even if a tour group takes you shopping, it doesn't force you to buy it, and it's OK if you don't buy it. Unless you buy a tour group with a particularly low price, it is possible to force rogue shopping. In the same way, don't be greedy and cheap, and you will easily suffer big losses. This is also what I said earlier. Why not give the elderly a special cheap tour? It is not only a problem of poor food and shelter, but also a lot of times when the elderly are in trouble and can't handle it, they can only get angry and eat dumb losses.

2) Shopping has always followed the trend. You think you will be firm and unyielding, but when many people flock to you, you will also sweep the goods into the bag. In fact, you don't have to let your parents be particularly rational and determined not to buy it. Travel is such a thing that you rarely go back. For example, the world is so big that I may bring my parents to Sri Lanka once in my life. Isn't it nice to buy a bag of black tea and share it with my relatives and friends? Do you have to compete not to buy it in the tour guide's recommendation shop, and go to the supermarket to buy black tea that can't tell the difference between good and bad?

3) Others have raised the issue of tour guide kickbacks. There must be kickbacks for tour guides and local escorts, but it's none of your business. Just buy what you need. This is not a dirty business. You have to take kickbacks like a tour guide. Let's put ourselves in other's shoes and don't pretend to be honest.

4) Be careful not to let your parents buy health care products, and go to Japan, a big country of health care products, in time, because you really don't know what it is, and you can buy anything else. Of course, if your parents become shopaholics, you should be careful not to be cheated. Many elderly people spend thousands of dollars on things and think they are as good as death, but they have already been cheated. Of course, if your parents just spend a little money to buy souvenirs, whatever they buy, your task is to make money, just like they spend money on you. Really, there are not many such opportunities and it won't cost you a few dollars.

5) For parents who are particularly diligent and thrifty, the old people who shrink back when they talk about spending money should be encouraged to try, such as giving them tasks, telling them what they taste and look like when they come back after eating and drinking, and alarmingly telling them that they will come here once in their lives and never come again, and they must see if they want to eat or drink.

4 preparation list of travel articles for the elderly:

1) medicine! ! ! ! Old people can buy everything without anything, but they must bring good medicine. Especially with tour groups, you can't arrange your itinerary according to your physical condition. Climbing mountains, being too hot, and eating badly will all cause problems. The standing medicines are: heart medicine, hypertension medicine, diarrhea medicine, heatstroke medicine, toilet water, etc.

2) U pillow eye patch earplugs are prepared for night flights, and it is recommended to buy a small simple bag of about 5 yuan on Taobao. With convenience, I have bought expensive awesome goods, and my diaphragm head has to be pumped up with a pump. I am exhausted.

3) Clothes, shoes and socks are ready, and sunglasses are also needed!

4) Passport, visa, photos and other documents and spare copies. Emphasizing the importance of passports, many old people lose their passports when they travel.

5) camera! ! ! ! Be sure to have a better card machine, don't shoot with your mobile phone! ! It's rare to come out once. The mobile phone doesn't work at all.

5 things that need to be arranged and instructed for the elderly:

1) Don't eat food that swells your stomach when you eat by plane at night, such as fried rice and buckwheat noodles.

2) Teach how to change tickets, check security, go through customs and find seat numbers. Pay attention to teaching, not helping.

3) If you travel with me, please line up with me at the security check and the entry and exit, sometimes. I'm afraid to ask

5) At night, the plane takes up seats to arrange for my parents to sleep. If I can bring more blankets, it's very cold to lie down and sleep on the plane

6) After traveling once or twice, I'll know what the old people need for a travel visa, such as retirement certificate, real estate license, marriage certificate, passport, passport photo and bank card. It is best to be ready at home to prevent temporary blindness.

7) Establish interest and freedom in shopping. Don't be afraid to spend money without eating or drinking. It's better not to go

8) For odd-numbered trips (for example, a young couple with a mother), help the elderly to arrange rooms. If the whole group is young, arrange a tour guide, or instruct the tour guide to arrange elderly people of similar age who are extroverted and easy to get along with each other to help communicate. So how to judge an old man who is easy to get along with? First of all, you should observe when the whole group gathers. Second, ask the tour guide in advance if there are any people left alone. Third, parents are embarrassed to communicate and take the initiative to talk to their uncles and aunts to act as a bridge.

9) It is more important to teach the elderly to travel independently than to accompany them. The elderly also need to exercise their independence and problem-solving skills. Dependence will make both parties very hard. If the elderly have the ability to travel independently and have good friends, it is great to go out to play at any time.

1) Make friends with the elderly who love to travel in the tour group clock, and travel together, and be happier without children

11) Buy a card machine for the elderly, take photos and develop it, which is easy to show off

12) Save enough money for souvenirs, and be sure to buy and show off

6 How to persuade the elderly to travel

Many parents are reluctant to travel, because What should we do?

1) If you buy a good tour group, just say that it was sent by your company, given by your friends, and won in the lottery ... You can make up whatever you want.

2) There is no way, it only means that you don't make enough money to make your parents feel at ease and bold, so you should work hard to make money. For example, use part-time money, or save 5% of your monthly salary in an account. If you have money, you can go abroad, and if you don't have money, you can take a two-day trip to the suburbs. Tourism is not expensive. Even if you don't have enough money now, you will have it one day, you will grow up, and you will have it one day. Believe in yourself, so don't be discouraged or sad. It's not that parents don't like it, they don't want it, for fear that it will affect your life.

3) Let's say that this is my wish for many years, and I will be sensible and emotional. If I don't go, I won't live, that is, I will look down on you and make you feel guilty and can't live ... Show it ...

4) I have already bought it, but I can't return it. If you don't go, I won't go, so it's fine.

5) It's cheap. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Thanks to the price obtained by talents, there is no such price at ordinary times ...

Vision determines attitude, and everyone is the same. If you don't want to listen to your parents and relatives nagging you every day, arrange for them to travel quickly. When they have the whole world in their hearts, they will completely forget about you, hahaha.

Finally, say, "Go make money! Just like they raised you, give them a free and easy trip every year! "

-----------. I recommend a group tour because it saves trouble. Old people go out to play, just eat and drink and watch buy buy make friends and sing a song on the tour bus. There is no need to learn advanced foreign experience, exercise social skills, improve the communication skills of strangers, improve the survival ability in the wild and other lofty goals ... It's 5 or 6 years old ... Let them go!
