When looking for value for money, or simply a place to stay it’s never been more important to be organised. But how does one plan to plan?
I don’t know what I’m doing next week.” This is the plaintive refrain I’ve heard from friends and colleagues when I tell them how far in advance they should be booking holidays next year.
And how about a casual, close-to-home family trip to Australia’s ski-fields next winter? You “should have already booked it,” Michael Johnson, CEO of Tourism Accommodation Australia, tells me, drily. “That’s how busy they’ll be. Especially if you’re looking for value for money.”“We saw a lot of short-term bookings coming through while people were concerned about cancellations,” Johnson says. But now, “we’re learning to live with Covid, and people are prepared to book ahead.
“Another technique, which is similar, is called ‘consideration of future consequences’. Who will be pissed off with you if you were supposed to plan and didn’t?” “So in terms of travel, you could think about … setting time aside and thinking about your goals for travel, and then checking in weekly.”
