Hiii good day everyone! Hope you all are doing well! Earlier tonight I saw a video about a person who was supposed to travel with a group but they didn't make the trip because they didn't realize they needed a visa and some other things. The person blames the company......
I don't really know what happened but being in this industry I suspect that company has it in their t&cs that getting visas, travel authorizations, passports and more is on the client.
I personally try to overload you all with information i.e. what visas you need, travel authorizations required, how much walking cause baby some of these trips ain't for the faint, if the step heights are right for those with short legs (yes we have a client that asks for this information), 6 months validity on your passports, any immunizations, arrival/departure forms, which flights to take, times to arrive, meals per any dietary concerns, what the weather is like, local customs, do's and don'ts, etc... it's information overload and you all know we post, repost and re-re-re-re-repost to ensure you have the information. Plus you occasionally get some videos I post.
With these things, how much time do you spend researching your destination? How do you ensure you are prepared for a trip from knowing the entry/exit requirements and more? Have you ever been unprepared for any trip not just a group trip? If so, how did you manage it?
