If you go on a trip, will you make travel plans two or three days in advance?

When traveling, you must prepare a strategy in advance, but if you only have two or three days to do it, it is definitely too hasty. There is absolutely not enough time and it is not feasible.

But this is not absolute. If you are traveling in a group, just prepare your personal clothes and other things. If you plan to travel by car, this time is not a big problem.

Only free travel, excluding short-distance travel, three or two days is definitely not enough. My experience is that it should be done at least one month in advance. Why is this? For long-distance travel, buying tickets in advance is a problem. It takes 28 days in advance to buy tickets online and 30 days to buy tickets at the train station. Whether it is the off-season or the peak season, it is extremely difficult to buy the lower berth of a hard sleeper train, and this is precisely One of the travel hardware.

For example, traveling from Guangzhou to Lhasa takes more than 50 hours. Do you know how inconvenient it would be if there were no lower berths? Especially for older travelers, can they still get on the bus and change the lower berth with others shamelessly?

Everything is planned in advance. My experience is that if you plan several locations for a free trip and reserve a few days for each location, you must purchase sleeper tickets in advance and use the sleeper at night. This way Save money and travel time.

Even if you have plenty of time and funds, and the high-speed rail is particularly convenient, you still need to plan your trip two or three days in advance.

Traveling is just like doing things in daily life. You need to plan and prepare with a rigorous attitude to make your trip more enjoyable.

The photos in the picture were all taken on site by my mobile phone.

Let me answer this question.

After retirement, I like to travel and basically travel more than twice a year. Not only did he travel to most of the provinces, cities, and autonomous regions of the motherland, but he also backpacked to more than a dozen countries including Southeast Asia, lasting as little as ten days and a half, and as much as three or four months. Every time I travel, I not only prepare travel strategies two or three days in advance, because backpacking abroad involves a series of issues such as passports, visas, and discounted air ticket bookings. Some people even make travel strategies two or three months before they go out for travel.

Because domestic travel is relatively simple, backpacking abroad is much more difficult, especially for me, a seventy-year-old man who organizes a group of his own and doesn’t understand English at all (we learned Russian back then). Traveling abroad is difficult as you can imagine.

I mainly make plans for independent travel abroad from these aspects.

First, booking air tickets, passport and visa. It must be placed first in your travel guide.

Because some countries can only be reached by plane, even if they are accessible by land. This is the case for Thailand tourism, for example. So how to book cheap and discounted round-trip air tickets is the focus of the strategy. I went to Thailand four times, and each time I chose AirAsia’s low-cost round-trip tickets. I booked the cheapest air tickets during a certain time period. For example, in February 2017, I took two friends to Thailand. The round-trip air ticket from Guangzhou was only more than 1,000 points, which was more than 2,000 points cheaper than the non-discounted ticket. The second is the passport and visa, which must be planned in detail when traveling. Taking traveling to the Philippines as an example, when is the right time to travel?

How long does it take to submit a visa to a travel agency? Or go to Guangzhou and sign in person at the Philippine Consulate in Guangzhou. These must be clearly planned in the strategy.

Second, finding accommodation and arriving at scenic spots are the difficulties of foreign travel strategies.

Because I am traveling independently with a backpack, finding cheap hotels abroad is the biggest difficulty. For example, take Thailand tourism as an example. When making a guide, in addition to looking for guides from books such as the travel monograph "Thailand", I also look for experiences from travel friends on Baidu, "Fengwo.com" and other websites. For example, many backpackers will mention that the "base camp" for backpackers in Bangkok, Thailand is the Khao San area. The few times I traveled, I always looked for small, affordable hotels in Khaosan. As for visiting scenic spots, the focus is on finding round-trip transportation and guiding the rules for visiting scenic spots. In May 2015, we went to visit Angkor, Cambodia. From the guide, we know that the Angkor Wat scenic area is dozens of kilometers in radius, and you must bring your own car for a three-day tour. The first thing we did when we arrived at Angkor was to look for Chinese people and ask them to help find a taxi driver who could speak Chinese. As expected, we found a descendant of overseas Chinese to accompany us to visit Angkor Wat for three days. He was both a driver and a tour guide. Because there was no language barrier, we had a great time.

Third, understanding the folk customs of each country and the taboo things in the countries you visit must be the focus of the strategy, otherwise it will bring serious consequences. For example, in September 2016, I took my friend on a backpacking trip to Singapore. When I was doing the guide, I learned that Singapore has very severe penalties for smoking and spitting in public places, with fines of thousands of Singapore dollars (equivalent to more than RMB 5,000), especially for spitting. Strictly, you will be fined even if you vomit in the street sewer. My friend who travels with me not only smokes, but also likes to spit because he suffers from bronchitis.

Several times while walking on the street, he forgot Singapore's smoking regulations and took out a cigarette to smoke. Fortunately, I noticed and reminded him in time, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous. In order not to spit everywhere, he specially brought his own plastic bag and paper towels. He spitted the phlegm into the paper towels and put it into the plastic bag. He then looked for a trash can and then disposed of it. For example, in 2017, we celebrated the Songkran Festival in Thailand. One night, my companion Zhang and I took a shower, changed our clothes and went shopping. After walking out of the door, Zhang was suddenly poured cold water from head to toe by two Thai beauties, making him completely soaked. Zhang was about to get angry, but I learned from the guide that splashing water means blessing him with good luck and peace! It is disrespectful to get angry. I quickly explained to Zhang, who also took a bucket of water and poured it on the two beauties. It’s time for a game full of laughter.

Fourth, when traveling, you should also consider life safety as the top priority. After traveling abroad, many emergencies may occur in a foreign country, which may cause serious personal and property losses to tourists. For example, when I traveled to the Philippines in 2016, there were many incidents of tourists being accosted on one of its islands. We are going to travel in May. When we were making a guide, we decided that the travel location would be Manila and we would not go to other islands no matter how beautiful they are. Tragedy was avoided. Another example is that on November 22, 2010, Xu Jun and I were traveling in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. While making the guide, I learned that although the nightlife in Phnom Penh is rich and colorful, it is much less safe for retired people. So we stayed by the TV at night and never went out. That night, we learned from TV that a stampede on the Diamond Bridge occurred in Phnom Penh that shocked the world. More than 370 people died and more than 700 were injured in the stampede. Early the next morning, we rushed to Diamond Island and saw the blood stains and shoes left on and under the bridge. It was too horrible to look at. Fortunately, we prepared strategies in advance to prevent this tragedy from happening to us.

Regardless of whether I travel domestically or abroad, I always prepare a strategy at least two or three days in advance. Ensure safe and smooth travel.

It is generally necessary to prepare a strategy in advance when traveling, and some homework must be done. If I had two or three days to prepare, I might be more thorough.

When traveling, we must first understand the weather conditions, customs, scenic spots, living habits, etc. of the tourist destination. It does not require much detail, but we should also have a general understanding. In this case, no matter what problems you encounter, you will be able to deal with them calmly.

Next, you will make a series of preparations based on the information you learned. Preparation work includes: General supplies for traveling: such as toiletries, changes of clothes, daily necessities, etc. You should also prepare some emergency medicines in case of emergencies.

Next, you need to make a plan. The planning content includes, according to your travel mode-whether it is a group tour, independent travel, or self-driving tour.

If you are traveling in a group, you don’t need to prepare anything. Just make preparations according to the travel company’s itinerary requirements; if you are traveling independently or by self-driving, then you have to be well prepared. On the one hand, you need to think about how to go, which route is the best, what attractions you want to visit, etc. You need to prepare a strategy in advance.

Also, you need to know the accommodation at your destination in advance. If possible, it is best to book it in advance. If you are lucky, you may get a discount if you book in advance. Why not?

Before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first. I think this is what I mean. If the preparations are careful and thoughtful, your journey will be smooth and comfortable.

The above are only my personal thoughts and are for reference only.

To improve the quality of tourism/travel, and do a good job in tourism strategy is the key

This topic is very good!

Traveling is not just about sightseeing, I also need to take pictures, so I need to know the culture, landscape, check-in places, special attractions and other information of the tourist destination in advance in order to take pictures that are relevant. Connotative pictures.

Also, confirm your travel method based on the hotel where you are staying and the transportation routes to the attractions you want to visit.

I have my own opinion on one thing. If you are traveling in the same city (within the city you are visiting), you do not have to take a taxi. Taking the bus or subway is also a different experience of traveling. It is also very pleasant to observe the city and experience the lives of local people. Therefore, checking bus routes is a must!

When traveling domestically, I will also sign up for a one-day tour group locally. Because there are no private cars in the local area and time is limited, one-day tours have convenient buses and local tour guide services. It is economical and affordable to visit several scenic spots in one day, which greatly saves time for personal travel.

For this reason, it is even more necessary to make travel strategies at home: day trip routes, selection of attractions, planning duration, confirmation of the distance between the meeting place and the hotel where you are staying (can you pick up guests door-to-door), gathering/dismissing Points, times, etc. need to be understood in detail.

In short, our tourism is a part of cultural life. We need to constantly summarize and improve the quality of tourism/travel, and making good tourism strategies is the key.

How about it? You are an extraordinary travel/photography expert.

Thank you for the invitation. I am Yaya.

If I travel, I will prepare a guide in advance.

The summary is to first understand the specific scenery and culture, how to play and what to do. What are the fun things to eat, historical and cultural accommodation routes, etc. Then just experience it with your heart and appreciate the scenery along the way. Since there is a time limit, it is best to prepare a strategy so that you don’t waste time.

Travel is not a "travel that just goes away". A good guide can make the travel experience deeper and enjoy the fun of travel. This can also reflect whether a person is organized and has a plan in doing things.

In fact, tourism, like anything else, has both macro and micro considerations. There are many such famous sayings, such as: Don’t fight an unprepared battle; Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious; Make plans and plans. , the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. These sentences are all about planning, preparation, and strategy.

If a person does things alone without ideas, it will be a complete mess. In daily life, not having a plan will also cause confusion, and thinking determines the way out.

Of course, there are various forms of travel, and travel guides are also different. I will take self-driving travel as an example to talk about making travel guides. 1. Plan a "Road Book"

When traveling by car a few years ago, because mobile phone navigation was not very convenient, I generally sketched the travel route on the map before departure and marked the daily itinerary.

Nowadays, mobile phone navigation is very convenient and accurate, and mobile phone navigation is basically the main one.

Plan the overall itinerary and prepare a roadmap. The "Road Book" was produced in the Amap web version, because the Amap web version has this function and is very convenient. Enter the starting point and passing points every day to get an overall plan. You can take a screenshot and print it out, or send it to your mobile phone, which is very convenient.

The following "road book" is the overall map of my self-driving tour on the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Ring Road from August 13th to 25th this year.

In 11 days, I started from Xi'an and passed through Tianshui, Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, Delingha, Dachaidan, Mangya, Lenghu Town, Dunhuang, Jiayuguan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Lanzhou, Finally, we returned to Xi'an. The total journey was 4,718 kilometers. We stayed in the hotel for 7 days and in the car for 3 days. After the entire journey, I felt it was basically consistent with the "Road Book".

The only thing that didn’t quite match was the trip from Dachaidan to Mangya. I missed a few beautiful scenery on the way and wasted time. I traveled more than 100 kilometers at night. 2. There are no strict rules on the time spent on making strategies.

The questioner mentioned that making strategies two or three days in advance needs to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. If you just check in and check out the attractions, it won’t take long. If you travel in depth, it may take a few months or even a year.

If you are just going to travel to tourist attractions, you only need to plan the route, accommodation, required time, etc.

If you need to travel in depth, or even write something, you must do enough homework in advance and understand the humanities, history, legends, and allusions of the scenic spots.

In order to travel by car to the Hexi Corridor, I bought the travelogue "Journey to the Silk Road" written by the American writer Bill Porter, "West of Yangguan" written by Teacher Xiao Chongshan, and "Journey to the West" written by Teacher Lin Meicun. "Fifteen Lectures on the Archeology of the Silk Road", and also purchased books such as "The Silk Road - A New World History" written by the British writer Peter Frankopan.

Just imagine, it would take several months just to read these books.

Last year during the Spring Festival, I drove from Xi’an to Chengdu for 5 days. I spent a few hours preparing the road book and guide, because I have been to Chengdu more than ten times and am very familiar with it. You can travel with your family without having to make a guide. 3. When traveling in a group, try to prepare a strategy as well as possible

If several families or friends are traveling in a group with several cars, try to prepare a strategy so that the drivers of the several vehicles know the route, driving distance, Otherwise it is easy to lose track.

Sometimes a self-driving tour involves a few people or a few cars. In this case, it is necessary to prepare a guide in advance so that everyone knows the daily route, scenic spots visited, meeting place, accommodation and food arrangements, etc. .

Especially as a team leader or organizer, you must not only have an overall view but also know the position of each car at any time, so the road map is particularly important. 4. Adjust the strategy at any time according to the actual situation

When traveling, it is not necessary to follow the strategy completely. Sometimes there will be some emergencies. Such as road construction, closure of tourist attractions, shortage of accommodation, etc. When encountering such a situation, you must make adjustments immediately, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes. Sometimes once a mistake occurs and fails to be corrected in time, it may lead to major consequences.

This time I was traveling on the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Ring Road by car. I made a small mistake on the road from Dachaidan to Mangya.

This distance is 548 kilometers and the estimated driving time is 8 hours.

Because I was nostalgic for the scenery along the way, I kept taking pictures and wasted time. When I was still 150 kilometers away from Huatugou Town, it became completely dark.

The small mistake was that I did not expect that there was no mobile phone signal in the vast Gobi Desert, and mobile phone navigation could not be used, although I knew very well that there was only this way to Huatugou. But in the dark, I couldn't see any road signs in the Gobi Desert, and I didn't know how far away I was. There were many heavy vehicles at night, and I had no goal or direction, so I was inevitably a little nervous.

Therefore, in the subsequent trips, I promptly adjusted "not burning the midnight oil". Conclusion:

When traveling, try to make a good guide. The guide generally includes: route map, scenic spots, food and accommodation, history, allusions, customs, humanities and other factors. You can make it according to your own travel needs. Trade-offs.

Having a strategy is like having a plan. Only when you execute it will you have direction and goals.

I can definitely answer this question for you. If I go on a trip, I will prepare a travel guide two to three days in advance. If you don’t prepare a guide in advance, you may not know anything about your destination. You won’t know what kind of city you are going to visit, what tourist attractions or ethnic customs there are, and whether the place you are going to live is convenient. When traveling, you will be wandering around like a little fly and be very confused. This will not only waste more of your time, but also you may experience the fun of this trip.

If you prepare your travel guide in advance, your trip will be very smooth and natural. You will have more time to slow down your pace, explore and experience the city slowly. Take a look at the city's appearance and natural scenery; feel the city's history, culture, customs and customs. You will naturally experience the fun of traveling.

So I suggest that if you want to travel, you must prepare a travel guide, so that your journey will be very comfortable, you can experience more fun, and you will gain more. Knowledge.

Hello! When I travel, I usually go on a self-driving trip, so I always make travel plans a few days in advance (referring to long-distance self-driving trips lasting more than a week). Let me share with you how I do it.

First, make good travel planning. I am an employed person with limited vacation time. If I want to travel within a limited time, I must plan in advance. Where to travel, which scenic spots to visit, how long to visit each scenic spot, etc. must be planned, so that you can make full use of the limited vacation time and maximize the scenic spots and attractions you want to visit.

Second, understand the travel routes. With travel planning, how to proceed is a critical step. First of all, ensure safety; secondly, try to shorten the time in transit and squeeze out more time for sightseeing; thirdly, try to reduce travel expenses as much as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to screen the travel routes and choose the best route as much as possible.

Third, understand the situation of the tourist destination. Whether we are familiar with the situation of the tourist destination has a great influence on improving the quality of tourism. If we are familiar with or have some understanding of the tourist destination, then after arriving at the destination, we can smoothly go to the scenic spots we want to visit, saving time in going to the place to find scenic spots and increasing the time of sightseeing. At the same time, it can also avoid possible bullying by local people.

Fourth, book accommodation hotels during the trip and at the destination. Accommodation in tourist attractions is generally very tight, especially during the peak tourist season, and sometimes it is even harder to find a room. Therefore, when I travel, I always follow the booked route and time, and book online in advance (I usually go to Ctrip.com) The advantage of booking a room with Yilong.com is that you can check in directly when you arrive, which saves the time of finding a hotel. Especially for self-driving tours, the journey is tiring, and you can check in when you arrive. Taking a quick rest is particularly beneficial to restoring physical strength; second, booking a hotel in advance can offer discounts or discounts, thus saving travel expenses.

Fifth, inspect or maintain the car. The most basic requirement for self-driving travel is safety, so you must go to a professional repair shop to have the car inspected before departure. If it is close to the maintenance period, it must be maintained.

Sixth, prepare emergency food, commonly used medicines and other necessary items. Traffic jams are common when traveling by car, especially during holidays, so before departure you need to buy some food, fruit, bottled water and hot water bottles that are easy to store, easy to carry, and of your choice; you need to bring common medicines for treating colds, digestive system, etc. And alcohol, cotton swabs, band-aids, etc.; mobile phones, camera chargers, backup power supplies, changes of clothes, spare shoes, ID cards, bank cards, appropriate amount of cash, etc.

The above is my approach, friends are welcome to communicate.

After the age of 63, I started to travel with my wife or alone. As I got older, I was not willing to travel in a group. First, I felt that traveling with a group was tiring. Second, as I got older, most tour groups also I won’t play with you anymore.

About ten days before the parade, we started to plan the places we would go to. We had to book air tickets or train tickets in advance, book hotels and inns, and we would need to stay a few days in several scenic spots. Then there are the distance, location, and driving route after getting off the plane or train to the accommodation (including the accommodation to the scenic spot), as well as the recent weather and climate changes in the tourist destination, etc.

When traveling, I habitually prepare a strategy in advance. I have carefully considered the itinerary, tourist attractions, where to stay, transportation and other issues, and prepare the clothes and necessities that I will bring with me before departure. Go and have fun leisurely.

1. When travel time is limited, if you want to visit more attractions in the limited time, you must plan well to avoid taking the wrong path and wasting time on the road.

2. In time for holidays, tickets and accommodation must be booked in advance. Without planning, it is impossible to determine the time and advance booking is out of the question.

3. When traveling, you must know in advance what attractions and delicacies there are in the travel destination, and go there in a targeted manner, so that you can catch all the delicacies and attractions.

4. Especially when traveling with the elderly and children, you must plan in advance. The requirements for attractions, food tastes, and accommodation conditions are all different. Choose a time for their trip so that they will not feel tired.

5. If you don’t prepare a strategy in advance and then look for the next place to travel when you arrive at your destination, you will be very tired after a day of sightseeing, and you will have to arrange the next day’s itinerary in the evening, and you will encounter various difficulties when making a temporary plan. kind of problem, and it doesn’t play well.

6. Of course, when making a plan, you must leave room for small changes to be made temporarily according to the situation, and it is not set in stone.

7. The most critical issue when traveling by car is parking, so hotels should book a hotel with parking space in advance to avoid driving around looking for a hotel.

8. When traveling with dogs, you must know in advance which attractions allow dogs and which ones do not, as well as which hotels dogs can stay in. This is relatively troublesome, so you must plan in advance and bring your dog with you. Make arrangements.

In short, traveling is both fun and tiring. Only by planning well, arranging your time reasonably, and combining work and rest can you avoid being more tired, travel more relaxed, and truly relax your body and mind. , feel the beauty of nature.
