Tips on enjoying your stay in Egypt
In my capacity as the UK director of operations for One World Tours Limited, over time, it came to my attention as to what a minefield in can be booking a vacation in a destination like Egypt through the myriad of’internet’ based travel corporations ; especially local Egyptian corporations
I thus though it could be helpful to suggest a kind of’checklist’ of things to have a look for and questions you should ask’prospective’ holiday suppliers.
1. Are they a travel agent or a Tour operator ?
especially at a local level, service from a tour operator is often higher than that of an agent as tour booked thru local agents’can’ risk the incontrovertible fact that the agent is solely passing on your booking to a 3rd party. This is not always the case, but it is’s something to consider. Comeback if you have Problems is also to be considered as an agent can blame the 3rd party and vice versa.
two. Do they need a deposit or are they offering payment in full on arrival ?
If the company you are most likely booking through accept payment in full on arrival, it suggests one thing – your aren’t prepared. While will a company risk booking hotels, tour guides, drivers etc on the of chance you’ll actually turn up ?
3. Do they accept visa cards as payment ?
This is vital whether or not you are planning on paying that way. Accepting mastercards ( especially in travel fields ) will often mean the Corporation has been pretty well vetted and definitely will be offering you some added assurances ( and of course protection )
four. Do they offer Testimonials… ?
The second half this question maybe the most vital part,’Do they offer Testimonials…and are you able to contact them’ ? If their testimonials are genuine then certainly there’s no reason why they can not be contacted.
5. Have they got a recognised complaint mechanism ?
Any forward thinking and honest company will know that there’ll always be the odd problem. Having a complaint mechanism in place shows that the company won’t just try and fob you off, but from the bottom up, they’ll try to reasonably look after any problems you could have.
Hopefully these five things may help you regarding your future plans when considering a visit to a country like Egypt.
