trip planning
Organizing travel details
Trip planning is the process of organizing the details of a journey before departure—researching destinations, booking transportation and lodging, mapping routes, scheduling activities.
The term often implies recreational travel: I spent weeks on trip planning for our Italy vacation.
It can range from casual browsing to elaborate spreadsheets and itineraries.
