Booking a vacation in 2021 is, in itself, a demanding task. The possibility to get out of the routine, get in touch with different cultures and visit new places is an undeniable motivating factor. However, planning a trip quickly and safely becomes an added challenge, especially in a pandemic environment.
Discover some practical advice that may be useful to you when planning your vacation.
Choose your vacation destination for 2021
The holiday destination will, unavoidably, be the first aspect to be defined and will vary depending on your wishes. If you want to relax and have more privacy, move to a rural area. If, on the other hand, you want to visit a city that is currently in vogue, bet on the large urban centers and their endless attractions.
Regardless of the location defined, try to gather as much information as possible about it, confirming that it will meet your requirements. To make this task easier, look for service providers in the destination you have in mind and find out about them.
At Feel Porto, for example, we have different accommodations, services and experiences in the North of Portugal. Our team is able to clarify all your doubts in this pandemic moment and give you the best advice to live your 2021 holidays in comfort and safety.
Analyze different accommodation possibilities
The selection of accommodation will obviously depend on your destination, the itinerary you will draw for the trip and the number of people with whom you will share your vacation in 2021.
Consult platforms specialized in the evaluation of hotel units and local accommodation companies and read the experiences reported by guests. Also check if the hypotheses you have selected have good accessibility and are close to the places you want to visit.
Think about the type of accommodation that is most suitable for you or your family. If you want a sheltered vacation away from the hassles of big hotels, booking an apartment with all the amenities will be an excellent option. In turn, if you want to spend a week of total relaxation with your family or a group of friends, how about looking for a house with a pool where you can enjoy maximum privacy?
Use a travel advisor
Do you have little time to plan your 2021 vacation and want to ensure you make the most of what the destination has to offer? Look for information from the accommodation unit that will host you. At Feel Porto, we have a blog with dozens of articles related to the city of Porto and the North of Portugal.
If you don’t have time to waste and would like someone knowledgeable about the destination to design the entire itinerary for you, don’t hesitate to contact a travel consultant. At Feel Porto, this is one of the many services available.
Consider travel insurance
Travel insurance is often neglected in the holiday booking process, constituting an extra charge. Even so – and especially if traveling abroad –, it can be a salvation in situations of flight cancellation.
Carry out a research and verify that all possible unforeseen events are taken care of before proceeding to purchase insurance.
Make a checklist before packing your suitcase.
Do not fall into the temptation of filling your suitcase with products that are not essential. Have you checked which products and equipment are provided by the accommodation? If you choose a fully equipped apartment, you will likely have essentials like a hairdryer at your disposal.
Always remember to leave some empty luggage space for souvenirs and other purchases you make while on vacation.
Hire a personalized and complete service
Want to ensure that the 2021 vacation is 100% pleasurable without having to spend a lot of time planning? The use of a personalized hosting service may prove to be the perfect solution for you.
Look for an integrated accommodation offer that includes a range of facilities such as travel advice, breakfast, activities for your children or an airport transfer. Complementarily, you can also purchase packages of experiences that will enrich your trip, making it memorable.
