In my capacity as the United Kingdom Operations Director 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 thru the myriad of’internet’ based travel firms ; particularly local Egyptian corporations
I so though it could be useful to suggest a type of’checklist’ of things to search for and questions to ask’prospective’ vacation providers.
one. Are they a travel agent or a Tour operator ?
particularly at a local level, service from a tour operator is sometimes higher than that of an agent as tour scheduled through local agents’can’ risk the incontrovertible fact that the agent is only passing on your booking to a third party. This is not always the case, but it is’s something to think about. Comeback if you have Problems is also to be considered as an agent can blame the third 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 thru accept payment in full on arrival, it means one thing – your are not booked. While will a company risk booking hotels, tour guides, drivers etc on the of chance you may essentially turn up ?
three. Do they accept credit cards as payment ?
This is critical whether or not you are counting on paying that way. Accepting credit cards ( particularly in travel fields ) will generally mean the Corporation has been pretty well vetted and definitely will offer you some added assurances ( and of course protection )
four. Do they offer Testimonials… ?
The second half this question maybe the most important part,’Do they offer Testimonials…and can you contact them’ ? If their testimonials are real then surely there is no reason why they can not be contacted.
five. Do they have a recognised complaints procedure ?
Any forward thinking and truthful company will know that there’ll always be the strange problem. Having a dispute procedure in place shows that the company will not just try and fob you off, but from the bottom up, they’ll try to reasonably look after any problems you may have.
Hopefully these five things may help you with regards to your future plans when thinking about a visit to a country such as Egypt.
