According to a study, it was found that travelers first decided on their travel destinations. After finalizing the destination, travelers spent more than 5 hours consuming online travel content to seek inspiration and plan their trip in the 45 days before actually booking the journey.
Travel expert Harsh Sonawala of India Someday has revealed the top seven words one should Google before planning the trip.
#1. Applying for a visa for the #CountryYouHaveChosen#
If you are travelling internationally, the first search should always be about obtaining a visa for the country you have chosen to travel to. Visa processes can be a little cumbersome and sometimes take longer than expected. So firstly, check if you need a visa and how long it takes to get one.
Make sure you don’t click on any sponsored links. Find the official or government websites and apply from there.
#2. Best areas to stay in #NameOfTheCity#
In travel planning, the location of your accommodation matters a lot. It is important to book a place in an area which is safe. When looking for a good area, keep in mind the attractions in the city which you want to visit. Additionally, look at the accessibility and connectivity of the area.
#3. Best places to stay in the #AreaYouChose#
When choosing a stay, there are many options available. Cost, location, and customer reviews can then play a big role in the place you choose.
Accommodations far from the main attractions will be cheaper, but you will save time and transport cost nearer to the tourist spots. Choose your accommodation keeping all these factors in mind.
#4. Things to do in #Destination#
One of the most exciting aspects of travelling to other places is experiencing the local attractions and activities that make a destination unique. Be it historical landmarks, natural wonders, offbeat destinations, or fun activities in the region, this will help you discover the best of what your destination has to offer. You can simply google specific keywords to search for places, or use Google Maps.
#5. Best places to eat in #Destination#
Food is one of the most important aspects of travel, whether you are a foodie or a picky eater. Since every culture has different cuisines, you might want to do a little research beforehand on the best places to eat according to your requirements.
#6. Best way to get around in the #CityYouChose#
It is a good idea to check your transport options before you visit any new place. Depending on the type of transport you want, see if you can book beforehand. If you want to use public transport, research if it is feasible, whether there are any passes available, and so on.
#7. Safety precautions #Destination#
Your safety is of utmost importance when you travel. Before embarking on any journey, be aware of any travel advisories or safety precautions that may be in place for your destination. Google can provide you with the latest information from government official websites and news articles.
Similarly, you can research the local laws and customs before travelling. Search for “etiquette in #destination” to familiarize yourself with the cultural norms and avoid offending the locals.
Speaking of thorough research before planning the trip, Harsh Sonawala – Founder of India Someday said “Planning a trip can be a task, but with the power of Google searches, you have the world at your fingertips. From discovering prime attractions to offbeat places, checking for local customs and prioritizing safety, Google searches will elevate your travel adventures. We of course normally recommend using local agents but if you are self planning a holiday then this is the best approach.
“Remember to use specific keywords related to your interests while searching, and utilize Google Maps and Google Image search to uncover hidden gems. Make sure to read reviews by other users before deciding on anything. Be up to date on the latest news and lastly, respect the local customs and traditions.
“These Google searches will help you be well prepared to make informed decisions and tailor your trip according to your interests. So, let Google be your travel guide and embark on a journey filled with unforgettable memories and remarkable experiences. Happy travels!”
