6. Traveling during Tet 2024 with family - what to consider?
If traveling with a group of young friends, you only need to focus on an adventurous itinerary, but when traveling with a large family, there will be more issues to consider. Mytour provides you with some basic tips to ensure that your family's Tet trip is enjoyable and complete:
- Avoid overloading the itinerary with too many sightseeing spots: This will result in excessive travel, which can be tiring for those not accustomed to movement. It's more reasonable for a family trip to plan visits that are just right, balanced with rest and dining time.
- Choose destinations with adequate facilities: While pristine natural scenery is beautiful and refreshing, destinations with limited lodging options (no hotels, few homestays) can be challenging, especially when traveling with babies or elderly individuals.
- Prepare luggage properly: Not overly cumbersome, but ensure you have all basic medications (for stomachaches, fever, insect repellent), appropriate clothing for the weather, as well as payment cards or cash for any unforeseen circumstances.
With the provided information, you'll craft an engaging itinerary featuring fantastic Tet family destinations for the upcoming spring.
