vacation planning
Organizing future travel
Vacation planning is the process of organizing a trip—choosing destinations, booking transportation and lodging, scheduling activities, and managing budgets.
The term often appears in contexts emphasizing either the enjoyment or the burden of preparation: We spent weeks on vacation planning before the trip.
