Alternatives to Hotel Accommodation . . .

 

Finding accommodations during special events like the Adventure World Travel Summit or the Olympic Games can be difficult because they draw so many people. When hotel space gets limited, think outside the box and rent timeshare – an affordable option. Renting means you’re not locked into ownership yet can enjoy all the amenities with none of the commitment.

Going Travelling? – Look After Your Money …

10 top tips for financial safety
Courtesy of http://www.fieldingfinancialfamily.com

1. Before you go, make sure that you plan your financial requirements properly: allocate
yourself a daily spending allowance: decide how much you need for food and living
expenses: how much will you spend on gifts or treats? Once you know exactly how much
you need, then you can plan how to provide that money when you need it.

2. Once you know how much you need, work out a plan of how much you want to take in cash (as little as possible!), travellers cheques and how much you wish to pay on credit cards. Remember that it is likely that your credit and debit cards can be used as normal when abroad, so check this with your bank and card provider before you go. Even the bank automated telling machines will probably still work, so there is no need to carry cash.

3. Make sure that you have appropriate travel and health insurance.

4. Consider if you need a specific credit card protection policy.

5. Make a note of all the numbers of your bank accounts, credit cards and other financial
documents and leave them in a safe place at home.

6. Make a note of any telephone numbers you may need in a financial emergency, such as
the bank, and your credit card protection policy, and hide that list in your luggage so you
have it if the emergency arises.

7. If you are travelling to a country where the currency is volatile, consider carrying some
US dollars or sterling as security in case of currency difficulties. Most emerging countries
would gladly accept dollars for almost anything.

8. Divide your finances between the people travelling, such that if you get separated or if
one of you loses their portion of money, you still have enough money.

9. Divide whatever finances you have and put it in different places: wear a money belt for
cash, put one credit card in your hand luggage and another in with your underwear!

10. Don’t take all your credit cards: leave something at home just in case.

Please Note: traveljunkies.com not Travel-Junkies.com

Please note this important difference . . .

www.traveljunkies.com began in 2002 and now has more than 3000 clients worldwide.

We have seen an advertising campaign by Travel-Junkies, a blog by a family who plan to travel, and the very best of luck to them.

But please note there is no connection with the long established advertising and promotion business traveljunkies.com


traveljunkies started as a newsletter for scuba divers and skydivers in Australia and has since grown to become one of the leading promotion websites for small travel, tourism and activities businesses worldwide, and now has more than 3000 clients who have trusted us with promoting their businesses for the past 10 years.

As well as traditional adverts, traveljunkies has its own search engine “like Google only smaller” which makes it easy for our visitors to find exactly what they are looking for.

At traveljunkies.com we offer free advertising in our Guide and Directory to promote travel, tourism and activities businesses. We feature our clients in our Blog, and on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, and we believe this to be the best value-for-money advertising anywhere.
