Why you Should never Trust on Travel Vloggers
Hello everyone, my name is Abubakar, Founder and Owner of Vacations Vibes travel company, I established my company on 15th November 2024, I started this company not only to earn but also to help people who love travelling but also afraid to go on right travel agents. See I agree this is my start up company and nobody will trust me, but it’s ok I am here gaining people’s trust, this is my life’s first vlog I am typing for my website to help those who just look at my website while searching the travel agents nearby their location.
So my topic for my vlog is why you should never trust travel vloggers to plan your trip.
I have seen a lot of people’s out their who watch a reels or video of any travel vlogger and get excited about that particular place and try to do it by themselves without any knowledge, Travel vloggers shows you the place you can travel in cheaper rice they will give you false information and will tell you guys that they just want to help people travel for cheap but I just want to inform you guys do not fall into this trap.
‘Ap sabhi ko kya lagta hai ye sab sach hai’?
Ap vlog dekhte ho and wo khete hai k 80000/- per head me ap bs Europe ghum loge wo bhi return flight k sath (Guys this 80k is just an example) but nahi aisa nahi hai
Hum jab actual me khud se package create karne jate hai to fir hume realise hota hai k bhai 80000/- me to bs return flight aur visa kharcha niklega aur agar ap flight 7 days k bad ki book kar rahe ho to bhai bhul hi jao visa hi nahi hai to flight book kark kya hi milega and ye story bs Europe k liye nahi hai koi bhi aisa cheap country lelo jaise Thailand, Sri Lanka, Malayasia ye bhale hi cheap country hai but utna bhi cheap nahi jitna hum sochte hai.
Travel vloggers apko bade bade sapne dikhane lagte hai aur aa punk trap me successfully fass jate ho, Ha me sare vloggers ko galat nahi kahuga there are some vloggers who are actually genuine who shows you the truth but the problem with that vloggers are they don’t show you the full truth they will show you the half part what they really wanted to show, Wo tumhe bs utna hi sach batayege jitna unhe batana hota hai baki wo apse kuch disclouse karte hai bhai agar kar diye to unka ghar kaise chalega haina
Travel Vlog- Personal Experience, Not Universal Truth
Now I will tell you something interesting about the personal expenses of travel vloggers, you know every Travel Vloggers have their Personal- Budget, Interest and Travel Style and here I will bifurcate you those 3 points below
Budget
As you can see or let say, have you ever imagined how these travel vloggers travel such beautiful places, and all of sudden apke mind me ye click hota hai yar iske pass to paise hai bhot kamaya hai fir jab wo vlogger apko details dalta hai ye caption me mention karke now you also can travel so and so places and you can travel by this and this and we start to get fascinating k bhai ye to cheap hai but no I want to inform you that the travel vlogger travel with his own money or by any travel company sponsor by them.
Every travel vlogger travels on their own expenses or any company give sponsor to them to travel so and so place and promote that place for them but I want to inform you travel vlogger ka jo travel budget hai wo humara bike purchase ka budget hota hai unka budget unka way of living bhot hi different hota hai hum sab se except rich people unka to rhene hi dijiye because jo unhe ‘cheap’ lagta hai wo humare liye bhot hi costly hai ya ho sakta hai so hume kabhi ye nahi sochna chaiye k bhai ye bata raha hai to sasta hi hogan ahi boss aisa kabhi nahi hota wo ek quote haina k Hati k dat khane k aur hote hai aur dikhane k aur hote hai to ye wahi hisab hai
Travel Style
Travel Vlogger ka travel style bhot hi luxury hota hai wo hume dikhate hai sasta but behind the scene unka jo life style hota hai wo to hum bs sapno me dekh sakte hai hume dikhate hai 3 star hotel ka basic suit and hete hai waha k premium suit me to hume kabhi unk life style se compare karna nahi chaiye bhai wo to kama liye logo se unk video se humara kya hume to abb bhi 9-5 job se hi monthly income aati haifir humara living of expense bhi dekhna hota hai so unka aur humara life style bhot hi alag hota hai
Sponsored Contain Game
The biggest bonus point for vloggers are sponsorship 100% vloggers get sponsorship by the travel company to create contain for the particular places and share it to peoples so people think this place is good we should go to sometimes but in reality the place would be below average and vlogger just hype that particular place so the travel company could benefit with it vlogger knows the place is more then below average but still they will show that place why because they are getting paid by the company
Overedited vs Reality
This is the main part for the vlogger, they always use the best editing tool and camera shot and drone shot to show the average place like very beautiful but in reality the place will be like the local area where you would be living see every country have the beautiful places to travel but at certain times there are also those places where you would not like to go but the vlogger will show them make that place hype and you will spend money just to get disappoint by visiting that place vlogger have paid tools high camera quality high resolution lenses so they take shot and edit before uploading on Facebook, Youtube or on Instagram but the reality is different
Vlogger will show that you can visit so and so places far from busy life peace no crowd just you and beaches or nature you can relax just 10km far from your living place but in reality that place has been discovered thousands of people in thinking they will see just nature but no instead of nature they will the crowd in jungle then what will happen all of your mood your excitement will fade away in a second why because you believed the vlogger and now with the excitement you wasted your time and energy to travel 150 km from your city u lived where the vloggers told you just 10km from city center so this is the another reason you will stop believing vloggers
Copy Paste Itineraries = Recipes for Disaster
The biggest scam of vloggers are making itinerary for you imagine one vlogger created the itinerary for Kashmir ok he will copy the itinerary from any agency online and will paste in his vlog and will give you the costing explanation for eg: if you live in Mumbai then you will take a train from Mumbai to Jammu who will reach Jammu by 11 am and from there you can take sharing cab to Srinagar and you will reach Srinagar within 2 hr. and then you can check in to hotel and you do not need to take hotel near by dal lake I will suggest you the hotel which is just 10 minutes away from dal lake so and so and with that the same thing you do just copied the itinerary from the travel vloggers and pasted it on you phone you booked the tickets from Mumbai to Jammu or take it Delhi to Jammu and you reach station and what you see the train is 5 Hrs. late on his particular time and the start of your journey will be in bad mood then you will start to get panic you will be running 5 hr. late when you will reach at the destination like the whole calculation you made by looking at the vloggers post you ruined it by yourself then once you get the train and then again it take 1 hr. to leave the station where you need to reach at Jammu by 11 am you reach at Jammu by 4 or 5 Pm at evening and by then you won’t see any Sharing cab available what will happen all of your itinerary will ruined by that just one post and by that your expenses will be increase by booking 1 night stay in Jammu and wasted 1 night in Srinagar hotel while u needed to check in on the same particular day
Travel Vlogger will never show you the reality they will show you the dream of vacation. Every vlogger have there own pace of travel some travel alone and some travel with friends but I have never seen a single vlogger who travel with family who have old grandparents of there parents who have no pace to travel 7 countries in 10 days so before watching the dream you need to do a small research of the particular place and distance before making any trip
What you should do Instead
Here is the thing you can do before planning any trip to your dream vacation whether it be Domestic or International you should do this routine check
- Research
Before planning something you should research of that place. Research the whether conditions, How much time it takes to reach destinations, Hotels rate whether the rates are in your budget or not, Mode of transport how to reach to the destination, if you are planning for domestic trip and you want to travel by train the first check the availability of train from your origin city and how log it takes to reach the destination etc.
- Review
Always check the reviews of that particular place or hotel do more research of the hotel by searching it on google the place the distance whether it will be worthy to travel or not look some images videos from youtube some government official site of the particular state the weather conditions the atmosphere of the place surrounding its safe or not to travel alone all this kind of stuff you should check and check the hotel review from Google or from Tirp advisor I will suggest Google for the review of the hotel reviews from google are genuine and honest it will help you out to book the hotel on that places
- Talke to experience travel advisor or Travel Agents
Always ask someone who are more experienced in travelling the frequent traveller or Travel agents the best advise you will get from Travel agents so if you have any travel agent friend you can take advise from them because they have the proper knowledge of all the places so they will help you out for creating the Itinerary or the best I will suggest go with the travel agents only you just need to inform the Travel agents how you want to travel and when you want to travel and how many peoples are going to travel just give this much information and rest leave up to travel agents because they know what they exactly doing they will take all the headache you just need to tell them and they will create the best package and itinerary for you according the way you want you just have to pay the money and go to enjoy your vacation
- Customize your plane based on Season time and budget
Before planning your trip, you should always customise your plane like your budget your hotel your sightseeing then which season will be good to travel and how much budget you should need to keep before you plan because every city every country have specific season and time to travel for an example if you want snow and you travel to Kashmir or Himachal to take the experience of snow and you travel in the month of May you will not get snow in that month and what will happen again you will ruined your mood and time and energy and also you will not get the thing you travel to see so if you go Kashmir In the month of May they you can enjoy the Tulip season and you want snow want to enjoy the snow activities then you can travel in the month of December but also before travelling in December you should keep in mind that you must check the condition and then only proceed further or else you will be stuck in between so these are some things you should keep in mind before customising your holiday plan.
Conclusion – Watch for Fun, not for final Decision
Always keep in mind if you watch any vlog of traveller you should be watching them as for fun purposes and for inspiration purposes not as an instruction as I have mentioned in my vlog the vloggers work is to show the trailer not the actual budget of the movie so watch it for fun and take it inspiration with them and work hard so you can also travel and explore this beautiful world.
‘Travel vlog dekhne se sapna banta hai, Planning se safar banta hai’
