Some argue that spontaneous holidays give people an unforgettable and enjoyable experience, because we humans are likely to have surprising events, which evoke stronger emotions, making this type of holiday special in memories. While I accept that these journeys sometimes have beneficial consequences, I believe that well-thought-out holidays can noticeably improve the enjoyment and help travelers make the most of their times.
To begin with, planning a holiday in advance gives many opportunities, such as a wide range of entertainment options, managing time, avoiding extra expenses and above all a sense of safety, since an accurate plan serves as a key tool to prevent unnecessary stress and expand the actual enjoyment of the trip, compared to an unprepared one. For instance, if we take a major journey, such as going abroad, it will be reasonable to have a pre-reviewed list of places to visit, along with booked flights and accommodation that logically fit within the initial budget. This provides tourists with the ability to make adjustments, if needed, without accidentally overlooking the important details.
On the one hand, it is true that unplanned moments, such as discovering locations with recently made friends (as the locations themselves) can make a trip more exciting, often creating the most memorable impressions. However, even these moments can happen with a loose plan that allows flexibility and natural drift of life, without leaving the feel of fabricated scenario.
In conclusion, although unplanned holidays may seem more thrilling and engaging, such feelings also can still occur during a well-planned vacation, leading to an even better adventure than the former.
