Why Travel Vouchers Cause StressThink of your voucher as your hotel pass.

You’ll need to print it or save it on your phone for check-in. Small mistakes in vouchers can turn into big problems on arrival, so it’s worth reviewing everything in advance.

1. Name Must Match

This is the most important detail.

Your name on the voucher must match your passport letter for letter. Even a small typo can cause delays or issues at the hotel reception.

How digital tools help:
Modern travel platforms can automatically pull traveler data from a form and validate names before a voucher is issued - helping avoid errors and last-minute stress.

2. Dates and Times

Always double-check:

-Arrival date

-Departure date

-Check-in time (usually after 2:00 PM)

-Check-out time (often before 12:00 PM)

Arriving early? Check in advance whether early check-in is available.

How digital tools help:
A clear trip summary with dates and times in one place helps travelers avoid confusion - especially when flights arrive early in the morning.

3. Hotel and Transfer

Make sure the following details are correct:

Hotel name and city

Transfer type:

-Group transfer
-Individual transfer

Knowing this ahead of time prevents confusion at the airport.

How digital tools help:
Travel platforms can show transfer details clearly - not hidden inside PDFs - so travelers know exactly where to go after landing.

4. Room Details

Check your accommodation carefully:

Room type (Standard, Superior, Family Room, etc.)

Special requests like sea view or extra beds

Common abbreviations:

SGL - Single

DBL - Double (one bed)

TWN - Twin (two beds)

TRPL - Triple

EXB - Extra Bed

How digital tools help:
Well-designed booking systems display room types in plain language, reducing misunderstandings between travelers, hotels, and agents.

5. Meals 

Meal plans can be confusing, so here’s a quick guide:

BB - Bed & Breakfast

HB - Breakfast + lunch or dinner

FB - Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (drinks usually extra)

AI - All Inclusive

UAI - Ultra All Inclusive (often includes minibar, 24/7 bars, à la carte options)

AI Soft - All Inclusive with limited or no alcohol

Each hotel may apply these differently, so always check the details.

How digital tools help:
Clear descriptions and tooltips inside booking systems help travelers understand what’s included - without needing to call support.

Quick Checklist Before You Go 

Before departure, confirm:

Full name (as in your passport)

Dates and check-in/check-out times

Hotel name and room type

Meal plan (BB / HB / AI, etc.)

Transfer and accommodation type (SGL, DBL, etc.)

Found a Mistake?

Contact your travel agent or tour operator immediately. Most corrections are only possible before departure.
