Holiday is the travel for recreation, leisure, religious, family business purposes, usually of a limited duration. Holiday is commonly associated with trans-national travel, but may also refer to travel to another location within the same country. The National Holiday Organization defines tourists as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".

Holidays are meant to relieve you of stress and create pleasant memories. However, lousy planning can turn it into your worst nightmare. Imagine losing all your money and important documents in a land where people barely understand your language. Scary, isn’t it? To help, TheNationalHolidays reviews seven important tips that you should apply to travel safer and wiser:
Choose the right destination: Select a holiday destination according to your budget. Calculate the time it will take to tour the whole place because overstaying your leaves might hurt you professionally. You also need to keep in mind the purpose of your visit. If the visit is a romantic one, then it’s not a good idea to visit places like Chernobyl.
Secure your documents and money: Keep copies of all your travel documents and your passport in another bag. In case you lose the originals, the copies will support you. Another good idea is to keep scans of the same sent to your email for global access. Always divide your money to manage it better. Keep some emergency money in hidden pockets, just in case you’re mugged abroad.
Keep handy items close: Do not burden yourself with unessential items such as your favorite perfume or that heart shaped pillow your girlfriend gave you. Pack smartly with chargers, home-bought snacks and a small portable electric cooker that will keep your stomach full when you lack the convenience.
Reduce the expenses: For the original experience of a country’s cuisine, try out their street food rather than the costly restaurants. This will save you money as well. For transport, use the public transport instead of hiring cabs.
Travel safe: Choose a country that’s free from terrorist attacks and an unsafe environment. Read the travel advisory issued by your embassy for the country you plan to visit.
Most importantly, be confident wherever you are touring. Such people always avoid difficult situations with their headstrong attitude. Happy Journey!
