How To Plan a Trip With Multiple Destinations?
After spending day after day working hard, we all want to unwind and enjoy a great trip. Once we set a budget and define the leisure days, we want to do everything to enjoy the trip to the fullest, right? That is why BCS has had so many groups looking for what we name multi city trip planner.
Now, while tourists are the common case, there have been multi destination trip planner for other purposes as well. Business groups may want to meet clients at several cities. Students may want to visit many regions in one trip to collect more information. Sports teams have multiple matches etc.
The downside of those trips is that they entail complex work in terms of planning. There will be many stops to make, you will need to control how long to stay at each place… and heavy traffic can always create an additional problem. That is why BCS has developed a tool to help you.
Tips for Planning a Multi-Destination Trip
Now that you know the basics about booking your bus trip with BCS, we can move on to another important part of the process. In a nutshell, preparation goes a long way. We know it looks obvious, but it can be difficult to put to practice. That is what we are going to tackle with the following tips.
Plan Ahead
Plan your entire itinerary out ahead of time. No one wants to waste a beautiful day because they don't know where to go, or the place they wanted is simply not available for the day.
Start with a Must-Visit City
Start your plan with one city you absolutely have to visit. Planning the next ones will be easy because you can decide based on how to get there, where to stay, and how much to travel.
Keep it Realistic
Keep your trip itinerary realistic. Cramming too many plans into little time makes it difficult to accomplish everything and makes the trip stressful, rather than pleasant or productive.
Be Prepared for the Unexpected
Be prepared for unforeseen events. Your bus will always be on time, but we do not know about the weather, the vacancy of the places you want to visit, the condition of the road…
Have Dining Options Ready
Have restaurant options ready at hand. You don't want to spend a whole day enjoying the local culture then rush to a fast-food place late at night because no other place is open.
Be Conservative with Physical Activities
If you have to plan physical activities, be conservative when estimating the group's stamina. It takes only one person with aching feet or overheating to mess up with an entire day plan.
Consider Timing
Keep dates in mind. Some attractions are heavily dependent on the time of the year. Not to mention that the location you want to visit might have been replaced by something else.
Consider a Tour Guide
Tourist groups may benefit from traveling with a tour guide. That person often has access to exclusive advantages in a trip, such as discounted fees when traveling with a large group.
Be Transparent with Your Group
Be transparent with your group. Make the itinerary easily accessible to everyone and remain open to both explain your choices and listen to their counterpoints. Agreement is essential!
