What do you think should be done to prepare for a business trip?

Preparations that should be made for a business trip include booking tickets, arranging accommodation, supplies to carry at all times, work arrangements before departure, and inspections before departure, etc.

1. Book tickets

When preparing to book tickets (or air tickets), be sure to check the latest train timetable, because there are many seasonal or temporary If you don't pay attention to the train schedule, you may not be able to book it. In order to prevent accidents, other means of transportation, such as the departure time of the plane, should be noted on the schedule, so that timely and flexible transfers to other means of transportation can be made according to the actual situation. And how to use checks, how to exchange foreign currency, etc., so as to ensure the smoothness of the work.

2. Arrange accommodation

When a leader travels on a business trip, the type of hotel he or she will stay in generally depends on the leader’s personal hobbies and habits. If this is your first time traveling to a place where you have a business trip, and if you have a subsidiary company or your own office there, ask them to contact you to arrange accommodation for you. If not, please ask the local tourism or transportation department for introduction. Unless there are any special circumstances, don't go looking for your own guest room or agency, because as soon as you go to them, they will warmly invite you to stay with them.

3. Supplies to carry at all times

Be sure to think about the things that leaders should carry with them when they go on business trips. If you are traveling far away on business and you forget to bring something and have to come back to pick it up, it would be a waste. Before leaving, make a list of the things that the leader carries with him, divided into business and private items, and show the leader what is missing. When preparing these things, you can’t just bring this and that. Bringing too much will be troublesome. You can only carry what is necessary, and try to bring as little as possible.

4. Work arrangements during the departure period

On the one hand, the secretary prepares for the leader's business trip, but on the other hand, he also asks the leader to make arrangements for the company's affairs. When leaders are going on a business trip, especially if the business trip takes a long time, there will be more requests and reports from various departments. At this time, the secretary should pay attention to arrange the leader's rest and not let the leader go on a business trip full of fatigue and worry. For example, two or three days before departure, say hello to the relevant departments, put aside some regular reporting materials, and wait until the leaders come back to read them.

5. Inspection before departure

On the day of departure, whether the leader is leaving from the company or directly from home, he must arrange a bus to the station. On the day of departure, make a final check on the operation of the train or plane, especially as plane delays due to bad weather often occur. Therefore, if you are flying, be sure to ask the airport about the flight status on that day.
