Probably every fan of travel, regardless of priority transport, whether a motorcyclist or hitchhiker, spends a lot of time on the maps, dreaming of a new route, drooling and counting finances. I'm no exception) I want to go a lot more, so I look at the maps and open the sites of various route planners much more often than necessary. Combined with considerable practical experience in the use of car planners in travel, over time, the advantages and disadvantages of some such programs.We will talk about it in this article, about sites-planners of routes. Almost any site with online maps now has a sewn-in route planner, but some are ungodly buggy, others do not take into account such features of the route, such as ferries. Finally, many planners have too small a limit on the number of key points.Yes, and only free programs will be considered here, Paid they are all cool and work great, we should not talk about them. In addition, route planners usually have their "specialization" in any region. There are also world autoplanirovschiki, but they cope worse with local roads and distances, in comparison with regional.

What will travel look like in 2022? It is becoming more and more difficult to predict on the topic of travel, because the rules and safety requirements are constantly changing, there are new inputs for planning trips. Kayak.com, the largest accommodation Kayak platform, conducted a survey among travelers and shared the results of the largest study, which included more than 24 thousand travelers from 31 countries. Users of the platform talked about what kind of travel they dream of next year, how they accept the new reality and what they expect in an era of uncertainty.    Many are simply tired of this type of travel, when you think about work all the time.

At least, this is what 79% of respondents think, who noted that travel has a more beneficial effect on their mental and emotional state than yoga and meditation. The reason for this is the forced confinement in apartments and houses during the pandemic, the daily hustle and bustle that has been sucked into the closed space where people work, raise children, shop online and even play sports. Many began to appreciate the opportunity to break away from the routine even more.    Catch up in 2022 As at the beginning of 2021, next year travel will be affected by the so-called pent-up demand. Everyone who, one way or another, wanted, but could not realize their desires to go on vacation to another country, will try to do it at the moment when the pandemic recedes and the borders open as much as possible without any special requirements for travelers. The percentage of those who wish to use the accumulated vacation days increased from 42% to 63%.    In 2022, travelers are counting on tackling this uncertainty with technology. According to the study, 63% of respondents believe that modern technology helps to reduce health risks while traveling, and 62% believe that technology helps to reduce anxiety when traveling. To do this, new applications are appearing, in which information on the requirements of countries for crossing borders is updated daily.

How tourists are deceived in Turkey and Egypt

During holidays in Turkey and Egypt, tourists often fall into the tricks of guides. It can be “tempting” excursions, trips and so on. However, they can be avoided if you follow the basic rules.Tempting offers According to one tourist, when they arrive at the resort, they are informed of an allegedly mandatory meeting with a hotel guide. However, you can not go there, because tourists are lured there for additional excursions. Usually the guides have a portfolio with offers, and he announces the price himself. When vacationers agree, they pay money immediately. However, in fact, it remains a mystery how much the offer costs and how much the guide “earned” thanks to you.Excursions There are several tour options. For example, the guide offers a boat or hammam tour and charges money for just taking you there. However, sometimes you can look at the maps where they are located and go yourself for free. There are also free tours, but they remain only conditionally. The fact is that tourists are taken to shops and shopping centers. And there you can leave a lot of money instead of just relaxing by the sea.In addition, they offer large excursions, for example, to Istanbul, for which two days are sometimes allocated. However, given the travel time, tourists will not be able to see the city enough. In addition, for such excursions you need to pay a large amount of money. It is known that in some cities during the tour they are asked to pay extra money for breakfast, which was allegedly included in the price, or they offer some entertainment at a much higher price.At the same time, the tourist said that it is possible to book excursions that take a maximum of two hours to travel, in particular to ancient cities. Other trips should be rescheduled, because for two days you pay extra money, and those that you paid for the rest at the hotel and by the sea will not be returned to you and these days will “burn out”.
