4. Guidelines for Planning and Choosing a Holiday Itinerary Choose the heading for each paragraph. Remember you can use the mec dictionary to help with vocabulary. Macmillan English Campus 1.________________- It’s important to have a base idea / concept. A travel planner would be able to advise better once they understand what you are looking for. Decide on Must Dos and Cant Dos in Advance. It is important for any travel planner to understand what you can and cannot do without. 2________________- It’s important to understand the costs that can be expected for the kind of hotels where you want to stay. You may also indicate a budget based on which the travel planner can work backwards. We recommend that in a trip where budget is a constraint, you can mix and match with hotels. i.e. stay in lower budget options at a few destinations and higher categories at others. This typically does the job. It is important that you don't totally compromise on the stay options beyond a point under this budget exercise (to avoid regretting it later). For itineraries where budget is not necessarily a constraint, most expensive hotels are not always the most suitable and therefore it’s better to consider options carefully before selecting the stays. Some sectors are generally more expensive than others and so at an earlier stage it sometimes is not a bad idea either to cut the number of days or change a sector all together to maintain a level of hotel stays within a budget.

5. 3____________________ - It’s important to plan in advance, give choice and options and ensure that preferred accommodation options are available and booked. Every Sector has an indicative time before which one requires to start planning. However as a rule of thumb, Festival Periods, Long weekends, holiday season needs at least 3-4 months of planning in advance. Sectors where a lot of overseas guests movements need advanced travel planning for choosing a hotel and resort more than 6 months is needed. 4________________ - It’s always better to involve those who plan to come along for the trip. Their preference and perspectives may help in arriving at a consensus and avoiding any conflicts later. 5________________- It’s better to leave time to enjoy a destination and rest than go on a monument hopping and sightseeing tour. It’s better to realize that there is always a limit to what one can achieve and there is no point in planning a mad rush. 6________________- There is no ideal duration for an itinerary. However most prefer a weekend to weekend itinerary and so about 7-10 nights itinerary is what is most preferred by guests. A relaxed and longer itinerary is good for a better coverage of the sector but sometimes leaves guests homesick and tired. For overseas guests a two week itinerary is ideal. Next
