2️⃣ Outline family needs and budget
Group size and ages:Do children need their own bed? Do they need children’s meals?
Interest preferences:Are you more interested in history (ancient city,), nature (desert, snow mountains), or food?
Budget range:Economy (4-6 person shared group) or comfort (2-3 person private group)?
Once needs are clear, the travel agency can quickly filter matching products.
3️⃣ Prepare documents and health information
