Planning Summer Vacation Together

Planning Summer Vacation Together

The main thing on vacation is a good mood

So, what amount of money do you have for vacation? If you managed to transfer over fifty thousand rubles to your bank account, then you can confidently aim for a varied vacation. At the same time, it is worth considering that traveling abroad will require a number of documents confirming your financial status, position, and income level. For example, to travel to Schengen countries, you will need not only a photo and a completed application form but also a certificate from your place of employment indicating your position, official salary, and length of service with that company. Thus, if you have been employed at the firm for less than six months and your official income is less than fifteen thousand rubles per month, you may encounter problems obtaining a Schengen visa.

Deposit modules confirming your solvency can come to the rescue. They are a special bank deposit box with access only to you. In that case, a bank statement can replace a 2-NDFL certificate, but you will still have to obtain a document confirming your employment status from your employer.

Photo requirements vary by embassy. In Italy, there are no strict requirements for submitted documents or photo format. In Spain, on the contrary, there are strict requirements for the photo format, which you need to check with your travel agency or on the Spanish embassy's website in your city.

European hotels are renowned for their special atmosphere and high level of service. For example, in Italy, the restaurants located on the hotel grounds will impress you with the variety of dishes and refined surroundings. The taste of Italian delicacies is incomparable to any dishes in the world. The rooms are usually small but very cozy, with a special local flavor. It won't even cross your mind that you need to buy a safe, unlike in Turkish resorts. The attitude of the staff is based on complete trust. For instance, when checking out of the room, they will not check the contents of the minibar if you tell the hotel administration that you did not use it.

Let's consider a scenario where your budget is strictly limited to an amount not exceeding fifty thousand rubles. In this case, we advise you to pay attention to inexpensive visa-free resorts located in Turkey, Egypt, Crimea, or the southern part of Russia. For a trip there, you will only need to pay for the tour and fill out a form. On average, a trip to a decent hotel in Egypt will cost about forty thousand rubles. Note that in Europe it is advisable to purchase tours with meals (BB – breakfast + dinner), while in the resorts described above, opt for All Inclusive. This is because it is extremely difficult to find decent restaurants outside the hotel premises, unlike in Europe. Moreover, buying a safe, as the administration of such hotels suggests, would not hurt. Theft in these countries, unfortunately, is widespread.

However, do not think that Egypt and Turkey are second-rate resorts. That is absolutely not the case! On the Turkish coast, you will be amazed by a huge number of fascinating excursions to historical sites, and the splendor of the underwater world of Egypt will leave no tourist indifferent!

Dear tourists, it doesn't matter where you are going for summer vacation, what budget you plan to spend on your vacation, and who you are traveling with. The main thing is the mood with which you organize your trip. Remember, the success of your vacation depends entirely on your attitude!
