Creating itinerary summary tables is a great way to organise travel proposals and make sure that all parties involved are aware of where the traveller is at all times.
They collect all the information needed to keep track easily: departure date, destinations, hotels, transportation, cost of the trip, planned activities, etc.
This is especially useful if you are preparing a long trip with a multi-day itinerary, as it helps to maintain order and ensures that all details are correct.
