Do Some Research Before You Book Your Holiday Trip

By Samantha Gerrard


I recently read a terrible article describing Europe as being very overrated and was surprised by the ignorant comments I read. It is unfortunate that people may read this article or like-minded ones and be put off a trip to Europe or in fact any destination.

Some of the other remarks were about the cities being polluted and dirty and since most individuals in Europe smoked the article said that you would find it hard to breathe unpolluted air. Woeful comments like these are completely incorrect and for certain paint a picture of someplace I would rather not visit either. Scores of cities do have problems with some factors of pollution as during the designing stages a few hundred years ago they were not designed with cars in mind. This is why scores of cities have restrictions on cars and there are umpteen pedestrian only streets. As for smoking in the UK or Ireland you cannot smoke in any public building so your lungs are safe.

This horrendous article does show the need for people to do proper research prior to settling on any travel arrangements despite where you plan to visit. It appears that the writer of the article I read is biased about travel in Europe or in all likelihood just did not bother to do any checking themselves.

Design your vacation around your needs so that when you begin looking you have a better idea of what you require. If you are traveling with children make sure that there are kids clubs or a children's swimming pool. If you want to visit particular historical buildings check to see if there are any public holidays when you plan to go. You do not want to travel all the way there and discover that they are closed for a public holiday.

You owe it to yourself to make sure that what you are getting is what you really need or want. There is no point in complaining when you get there. The net is a good resource however you do need to be mindful about some of the validity of some of the data. Do not forget to ask for advice from a travel professional and especially one that specializes in the location you require.

Wherever you settle to go on holiday if you have done your research cautiously and planned it well you will get the holiday you deserve.
