hi sylvester! planning a vacation can be difficult especially for travels outside your region, did you consider travel agents online? make a list of things if you are choosing travel agent like date, place and price range of your trip and list of some questions that you'll ask to agent, dont' feel required to purchase anything when you do meet with travel agents, keep some guidelines in mind like do not rely on vacal agreements, do not suppose you accomodation will look as impressive as they do in the glossy direct mail, always read all the paperwork carefully before you sign up especially when it comes to package deals..have wonderful vacation and safe travel

In my home country a good travel agent would belong to the ABTA which stands for the Association of British Travel Agents. They would also be ATOL protected. That gives back the money to tourists if the airline goes out of business. At the end of 2008 a particukat airline stopped trading. Many tourists were left stranded and those with ATOL protection got flown home on other airlines free of charge. When I went to South Africa I booked with an excellent airline and got a very high standard of travel insurance.
