Purpose

Travel advisors use proposals to communicate recommendations clearly. A proposal may compare choices or present one recommended package based on the traveler’s request.

Typical information

A proposal should make the important assumptions, inclusions, and next steps understandable.

  • Destination and dates
  • Accommodation options
  • Transportation
  • Included experiences
  • Estimated or quoted pricing
  • Deadlines and terms

From proposal to itinerary

After the traveler selects an option and bookings are confirmed, the chosen arrangements can become part of the final itinerary. Keeping these stages separate reduces confusion between possibilities and confirmed plans.
