Preparations Foreign Travelers In Vietnam During WIPHA Storms

If you book your trip in a destination within the storm zone, here are a few notes for you to somewhat enjoy the typhoon season.

  • Check the weather forecast regularly to update about the destination’s situation.
  • Put your important documents and devices into waterproof cases during your journey.
  • Be ready for some delay in transport, especially flights. If possible, you should rearrange the schedule either before or after the storm hits the land.
  • Avoid going to remote places with a sparse population like some areas in the northern mountains.
  • Remember to charge your phone and bring an additional battery or a portable charger to stay connected.
  • Outdoor activities are not appropriate during rainy days. Instead, get some indoor fun in shopping malls or recreational centers.

In Case of Weather Emergency, How Travel Sense Asia Handle?

As an experienced tour operator, this is definitely not the first time we deal with such situation. Our travel experts always update the weather situation and inform our guests as soon as possible to make necessary changes. This helps to minimize the cancelation cases and make sure you will have a nice and smooth journey.

Here we have created some resolutions to conquer the fear of storms with you.

#1: If the pre scheduled destinations are subject to the affected zone, the travel expert who take care of your tour will contact you in advance and give you other options to visit. Otherwise, you can suggest other destinations for us and we will tell you if it’s safe to go there.

#2: In case of sudden change in the weather, which puts a halt to the tour activities, you will get a refund for the part of your package that has been canceled.

#3: When the rough sea prevents you from a overnight cruise on Halong Bay, a spectacular site in the Northern Coastline, we will arrange a convenient hotel inland for you. And so as not to waste your time, we suggest a short trip to explore Halong Park. Or else, traveling back to Hanoi and going sightseeing in this ancient capital is another excellent alternative.
