Travel planning is often an exciting, but not entirely easy matter. The fitting Destination needs to be selected, the preferences of all family members reconciled and the right booking portal sought. The bottom line is that you are still spoiled for choice. The large number of travel destinations in particular is a headache for many holidaymakers. While your partner wants to go on a Mediterranean cruise, you might be more interested in two weeks in paradise Mauritius (I speak from experience!).

Vacation at home?

Some, on the other hand, would prefer to take a vacation at home, others would only like to fly a short distance to the Mediterranean, while others would really like to go further afield to Asia, America, Africa or the Indian Ocean. We often have certain preferences about where we want to travel next. We decide based on our gut. But if you can't think of where you should go in the near future, you can of course get advice from travel experts and should first ask yourself a few questions:

  • How much money do I want to spend on my next trip?
  • How far am I willing to travel – short-haul, medium-haul or long-haul?
  • What would I like to experience on vacation – adventure, relaxation, wellness, beach, nature or perhaps a combination?
  • When do I want to travel – do I have free choice or do I have to stick to the holidays?

Anyone who answers these simple questions is usually a long way ahead. Based on this information, the choice of travel destination can be narrowed down quite a bit. In addition, this should always be included in your vacation planning best time be included. Many holiday destinations have a special time of year during which the weather is particularly good and which is usually the peak season for the destination.
