Trip planning

The order that actually works when you start from nothing.

  • 1. Window

    Fix the dates before the destination — weather and price move together.

  • 2. Entry

    Visa, passport validity and vaccination requirements, checked at source.

  • 3. Shape

    One base or a route? Distances decide this, not preference.

  • 4. Anchors

    Book the two or three things that sell out; leave the rest loose.

  • 5. Money

    Cards accepted, cash needed, and what a day costs where you are going.

Business travel & market orientation

  • Market snapshot

    Size, growth, dominant sectors and who the regional competition is.

  • Entity and tax

    How foreign companies typically operate — branch, subsidiary, or partner.

  • Etiquette

    Meeting norms, hierarchy, gift conventions and how decisions get made.

  • Practicalities

    Connectivity, banking access, and whether meetings run on time.

Safety, health and entry

Always check the primary source — these change without notice.
