The September 2nd holiday offers a chance for family and friends to enjoy leisure and travel. However, it's essential to keep a few things in mind for a complete travel experience!
Inquire about Prices in Advance
During holidays, eateries often raise prices unexpectedly due to increased demand for food and groceries. Whether you're visiting a familiar or new place, always inquire about prices beforehand to avoid overspending or running short on cash.

Keep an Eye on Children
During holidays, you're likely to encounter families with young children out and about. Therefore, in amusement parks or shopping areas, if you're not careful, you may inadvertently lose track of young children, especially those who are lively and energetic.

Best practice is to dress children in easily recognizable outfits in crowds. Attach contact information to their clothes so that if someone finds them, they can contact your family.
Be cautious when using valet parking
During holidays, the demand for valet parking is relatively high, making it prone to issues like overcharging or missing items such as helmets. In places where prices are not listed, it's advisable to inquire beforehand and securely store helmets in the car trunk.

Watch out for personal belongings
Among the holiday crowd, there are individuals with malicious intent. Being cautious is always essential, especially with expensive belongings. Avoid carrying too much cash and always keep an eye on your belongings.

Hotel room reservation
Booking hotel rooms in advance during holidays is a wise move. Simply because the demand for hotels during this period will skyrocket. Without prior booking, you may not get a room or a good location such as one overlooking the sea or near the city center.

Not to mention, booking in advance from now on will get you many benefits, rather than starting to ponder choices when you're about to leave. Booking hotels directly through reputable websites like Mytour is equally important.
Drive carefully
During these days, you often return home later than usual. There are also more cases of drunk driving, so be cautious on every street. Even if you see other drivers showing signs of drunkenness, maintain a safe distance.

Enjoy responsibly
Many incidents occur during festive nights, so go out with a group of close and trustworthy friends. Even if you're with close friends, don't overindulge, especially in alcohol consumption. Make it a habit to stop when you've had enough if you don't want to end up thinking, 'I wish I hadn't...' later.

Prepare essential items
Plan your holiday activities in advance and prepare necessary items such as hats, sunglasses, swimwear... Bring them from home; avoid purchasing at tourist spots where prices could be twice or thrice as high.

Carry common medications like motion sickness pills, pain relievers, salonpas patches, etc., to be prepared for destinations that may not suit your weather or taste preferences.
