文章大意:本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍的是一款可以帮助游客更好地选择酒店,对入住酒店时注意事项进行提醒的手机软件——Travel Comparison。

【推荐1】Almost anyone can book a trip, but not everyone can plan a perfect adventure that’s affordable, accommodating, and fun for everyone in your group. At Tripslnsider. com, we have a powerful tool, Travel Comparison, which aims to pro vie you with the best insider secrets in the travel business. Here are some insider tips that we’d like to share with you about Hotels.

Check Distances on a Map

It is not uncommon for hotels to slightly exaggerate (夸大) the time and distance of getting to the attractions around town. If being close to a particular airport or landmark is important for your trip, check distances on maps before you book a hotel.

Skip the Package Deals

To attract new guests, some hotels will offer themed package deals that sound exciting but may not be worth it. Just know that sometimes these packages include things you don’t even want or need and that the special rate could be higher than the regular rate.

Understand Room Preferences Aren’t Guaranteed

Hotel bookings include preferences like bed size and the number of beds. But in many hotels, travelers should know that these preferences aren’t guaranteed. You’ll usually get what you asked for, but not always.

Mention Special Occasions

Many of us travel for birthdays, anniversaries, and special events. Mention what you’re celebrating to the hotel staff a week or more before you arrive and you might be surprised with a little gift, like a bottle of champagne in your room.

Ask for a Corner Room

When you check in at a hotel, ask if there’s a corner room available. These are usually larger and quieter for the same price as the ones in the middle of the hall Upgrades are most often offered at the end of the day when hotels have a better sense of their occupancy (入住率).

Whether you plan to fly, drive, or cruise, become an expert trip planner by using our Travel Comparison APP for all your transportation and hotel needs. Please visit us again and sin up for our newsletters (内部通讯) to keep getting the best deal and travel tips.

【推荐3】A Schengen visa is a short-stay visa awarded to persons wishing to travel to one or many of the countries that make of the 26 European country Schengen Area. It grants (授予) each holder entry to all the countries in the area on a single visa. Several new Schengen visa application rules came into force in all countries on February 2, 2020. Check out some of the major changes:

Increased visa fees

The Schengen visa fee has increased from 60 euros to 80 for adults, while children aged between 6 and 12 now need to pay 40 euros instead of 35.

The rise in fees is to increase staff numbers, ensure stronger security screenings, and upgrade IT equipment and software, according to the European Commission.

Electronic application form

The application process has been greatly simplified. Schengen member   states now accept electronic applications, and the application form can be signed and submitted electronically.

Longer application submission periods

Schengen visa applicants used to apply as early as three months ahead of their trip. Today applications can be submitted up to six months in advance.

Benefits for frequent travelers

Those who have previously visited the Schengen Area and have a positive visa history will be granted the opportunity to get a multiple-entry visa valid for up to five years. That is, people who have lawfully used their previous visas, have a good economic standing in their home countries, and intend to leave the area before their Schengen visa expires (过期) will now have the chance to get a visa for up to five years with multiple entries.
