SET A BUDGET
One of the biggest benefits to online 
shopping is the ability to browse 
many products at once and compare 
prices. This gives you the upper hand 
to find Holiday packages, 
accommodation and local tours to fit 
in your budget.

ORGANISE PAYMENT 
METHODS
While you may not be sending 
money overseas, you should still take 
care to ensure you're paying securely 
online. If you're looking to book a trip 
all at once through a travel agent 
online, they will often need you to 
pay a deposit (or more) at the time 
of booking. Options include paying 
via a debit card, such as our Visa 
Debit card, or via a credit card.

RESEARCH TOUR GROUP 
ITINERARIES
If you’re not going to book an 
organised tour, research where other 
tour companies go – they generally 
stop off at all the hot spots so you’ll 
be sure to learn more about the area 
you are visiting through reading tour 
notes.

CONSIDER BOOKING 
THROUGH A LOCAL
Local companies might be able to 
offer a better price and more options 
than what you may find when 
searching on major booking 
comparison websites. You'll also be 
doing your part to support the local 
economy. Make sure to do your 
research and consider seeking advice 
from other travellers or reading 
reviews before you book.

GET ADVICE
 You can either post a question and 
start a topic thread or just look 
through past topics to find what you 
are looking for. The hints and tips you 
get about where to go and who to 
purchase through are invaluable and 
if you see a trend towards a 
particular activity or company you 
can usually trust the advice is worth 
taking.

ORGANISE TRANSPORT 
BEFORE YOU LEAVE
It doesn’t suit all destinations but if 
you do your research you’ll find there 
are many places where it is possible 
to purchase your transport before 
you leave.
