travel planning

Mapping your journey

Travel planning is the process of organizing a trip—researching destinations, booking transportation and lodging, scheduling activities, and preparing logistics.

The term covers everything from a quick weekend itinerary to months of preparation for international travel: I spent all evening on travel planning for our honeymoon.

A travel planner may be a person or a digital tool that assists with these tasks.
