Some
HANDY Travel Tips
Don't
be afraid to ask for a Discount - If you shop at touristy
places, bear in mind that tour guides/operators who
take their visitors to these types of shops all get
a commission on purchases for the clients they bring
to the venue.
This
generally represents 10% of the purchase price. Effectively,
this means that all these venues cost the extra 10%
into their selling price.
There
is no harm in you, as a tourist to a foreign land,
asking for this as a discount for yourself if you
travel on your own - or even asking your tour guide
to arrange his commission to be turned into a discount
for you. Remember YOU are paying for this anyway and
it is your money being slurped up so be big and bold
enough to ask for it. This has never failed me in
the past.
Stay
Fresh
This
one comes from a reader that owns and operate a hiking
outfitter and guide business.
"We
pack llamas and walk several miles a day in the mountains
and canyons of Utah. We get quite grimy and sticky
with no bath water in the backcountry. The best freshener
and body cleanser I've found is old-fashioned Witch
Hazel and flat cotton pads."
No
Place to dry clothing?
To
get wet clothes dry overnight, hang them on a coat
hanger and hang them in the bathroom - LEAVE THE LIGHT
ON. In the morning they should be dry enough to wear
- really works! [Might try leaving that loud fan on
too for better air circulation.]
