Every year, millions of our compatriots go on vacation to other countries. People have been preparing for this long-awaited event for a whole year, cherishing vacation plans, dreaming of plunging into the clear sea, getting to know the culture of an unfamiliar country, and seeing the sights. But it often happens that instead of a long-awaited vacation, a tourist exhausts his nerves by solving the problems that have arisen.

Return home rested and satisfied with a travel voucher. Most problems arise due to misunderstandings, in order to avoid them, it is necessary that all clauses of the contract be spelled out. A travel voucher is a document containing a detailed description of all the services that a tourist should receive on vacation. Usually a voucher is issued in triplicate: one remains in the hands of the tourist, the other is given upon arrival to the host country, and the third is given to the hotel.

No one needs to give away their copy. In some cases, representatives of operators or guides ask vacationers for their travel voucher,attributing everything to police registration or departure registration, but this is nothing more than a trick to lure a tourist and sell him your excursions at a higher price. Therefore, you should be careful.

Oddly enough, but most of the problems for vacationers arise precisely with this document. The reason for everything is inattention, ignorance or misunderstanding of what a voucher is.

The tourism business is something incomprehensible and confusing for many, tourists do not understand abbreviations, do not understand the meaning of abbreviated words, so unscrupulous hotel owners deceive them.

In order to get everything that the money was paid for on vacation, it is necessary to thoroughly study your travel voucher before departure and check the availability of all the necessary services that the tourist agreed with the travel agency. The document must contain the name of the hotel itself, the full names and dates of birth of tourists, the date of the tour. The voucher also contains the type of food chosen by the tourist, the transfer and its type, and the type of room. With the latter, the most problems arise, as the hotel is trying to cheat and settle in the wrong room (or the tourist himself made the wrong choice).

Even in the same country, but in different hotels, the same abbreviation can mean different things. In order to imagine what a tourist actually expects in a hotel, it is necessary to check the descriptions and pictures indicated on the hotel website or in the catalog. When examining a travel voucher, first of all, you need to check the type of food, type of room and type of accommodation. If this is neglected, then the rest can turn into a nightmare,

but nothing can be changed.

It must be remembered that to a greater extent, the tourist is still guilty of the fact that the holiday spent does not meet expectations. In most cases, it is precisely because of the inattention of vacationers that misunderstandings arise with the host. A voucher is a very important document that should never be lost. On its basis, the tourist will be taken to the hotel, settled in the desired room, provided with paid meals and provided with other previously agreed services. If it is lost, the hotel may refuse to service and check into the room.
