Tips On Planning For Mongolian Tours

By Bonnie Contreras


Tour planning is all about good organization. Most activities involved in touring are safer done in groups because of the risks they involve, for example hiking and mountain climbing. Also a local guide can be hired especially in unfamiliar terrains. He or she will provide valuable information during the Mongolian tours.

Travel companies in resident countries and states may be expensive to use and also some may not know the destination of each client. However, using a local company of the area to be visited may not only turn out to be fun because of the familiarity of the guide but can in the long run be cheaper, it also helps the local economy. Whether to use guides or an all-inclusive firm will depend on what the client has to spend.

The job description for a day guide entails answering traveler questions and shows the sites they came to see. They charge per tourist and the prices vary with the proximity of the site and the terrain of its surroundings. The traveler may also decide to go with cultural and adventure travel companies which offer a number activities for tourists, for example kayaking, safaris and mountain climbing.

Sometimes it is a good idea to use local guides to visit places especially where trekking and excursions are involved on the way to very remote areas. They are mostly independent contractors who may be affiliated with a local travel firm. In certain states they are required to be licensed but in other states it is not a requirement. Depending on the desires and budget, a traveler may also choose to hire a car and driver to take them wherever they want. It is normally a good idea where the client does not want to use public transportation.

In trip organizing every client should be driven by the need for safety and reliability. Travelers must ask to see the license of the company, brochures and the equipment to be used. Contacting referrers to ascertain the efficiency of the company is a good step to take and so is getting a map of the places to be visited.

Many previous clients of travel firms leave behind praise letters about the company services which current travelers can read. This should not be the sole basis of determining which firm to use; it should only act as an aid in decision making. The final judgment must be made by the client. Tourists should not shy away from asking questions about safety measures, routes and accommodation arrangements.

All businesses are run because of profits, on this note all fees must be agreed upon before anything happens. It is always recommended that all payment agreements be written down and both parties sign a contract. The receipts should be safely kept since they will be required later particularly in cases where cash is to be refunded to clients.

In either case many travel companies value reliability and honesty. Tourists rely a lot on the recommendations of others, travel firms know this and they try as hard as possible to please them. Finally travelers are encouraged to tip the Mongolian tours provided guides when they are pleased with their services.
