Mistakes you make while planning a trip

Weather of Arabia - Good advance planning is essential for the success of any trip, whether it is for tourism or business, but there are some common mistakes among travelers that can make their trips difficult and cause them many problems while traveling.

The "Independent Traveler" website listed 5 mistakes that the traveler should avoid in order to have an enjoyable, problem-free trip:

Inadequate budget
Planning wisely for an adequate budget that covers all the expenses of your trip is of utmost importance. Therefore, you must prepare all travel costs such as hotel accommodation, travel tickets, food and drink expenses, transportation, etc., in addition to allocating a reserve amount in anticipation of any emergency that you may encounter during your trip.

Delay in issuing a passport
Issuing a passport may take some time. If you are traveling for the first time and do not have a passport, do not leave yourself for the last moments to obtain it. You may need some documents and papers to issue the passport, and you should do that well in advance of the travel date.

Lots of luggage and clothes
Avoid taking a lot of luggage and clothes because you will not need them on your trip, and because they will be a burden on you and hinder your freedom of movement from one place to another, in addition to the overweight fares that may cost you a large amount. Prepare a small bag enough for some supplies, clothes and essentials.

Notify your bank of your intention to travel
You should notify your bank of your intention to travel well in advance of your travel, as most banks take security measures that prevent cash from being withdrawn from your account from another country.

Not knowing the traditions of the country
Before you travel, get to know the culture of the country you intend to go to, and try to adapt to its customs, traditions and applicable laws. Ignorance of the country you are visiting can expose you to many problems.
