2. Do you have an upcoming business trip to
Melbourne? Do you want to make this trip hassle-
free unlike the previous ones? Well, worry not as
we are here to help you. With many years of
experience in the travel and accommodation
industry, we can provide you with some practical
tips and hacks that can make business travel less
miserable, rather more enjoyable.

3. 1. Make Use of a Travel Checklist
Organisation is the key to make business travel smooth and
hassle-free. So, before anything is booked or paid, create a
complete checklist of all the things that you need for your
trip. Include the gadgets that you need on-the-go, your
accommodation, your transportation, types of clothing that
you’ll wear, etc. You can tick them one by one as you go
along planning your travel itinerary.

4. 2. Make Sure Internet Connection is
Available
Call in advance to your chosen accommodation and make sure that
you’ll have efficient internet and communication lines. Or better yet,
ensure that you’ll book a place that will provide you you’re your
needed connections. Being connected to your staff or colleagues even
if you are away is important. You’ll never know when you’ll need to
communicate to them regarding your business concerns.

5. 3. Bring Appropriate Electrical Plug
Adapters
Depending on your home country, you might need to bring along with you some
electrical plug adapters. This is to make sure that you can easily recharge
your gadgets or laptop whenever they’re out of juice. As for Australia, you
would need an Australian AS-3112 socket, and take note that the voltage is
220-240v. If you are heading for another country though, make sure to
search for the default sockets used so you’ll be ready when you need them.
But most importantly, make sure everything is fully charged the night before
your departure.

6. 4. Organise Your Things Wisely
When packing, arrange your things based on how often you use them. For
gadgets like phones, laptops, or tablets, you may place them on your hand-
carry bag so you can easily get them. While your clothes and other stuff can
be packed on a separate luggage bag. See to it that your travel credentials,
such as passports and IDs, are easily accessible but safe so you can get them
fast when needed. You can place them in your hand-carry bag too. Also,
pack light by only bringing things and clothing that you’ll be using for the
duration of your trip.

7. 5. Eat and Sleep Right
Exhaustion and low energy are two things that you don’t want to be happening
when travelling for business. These factors can truly affect your performance
and can derail your way to a successful trip. Thus, make sure that you have
enough eat and rest. Although you’ll be on a hectic schedule, find ways on
how to take short naps or eat some small snacks to keep your energy high. It
would be best to bring some energy bars so you can munch on something on
the go.

8. 6. Plan Some Leisure Activities
Of course, the main purpose of your travel is to close deals, to meet with
clients or partners, or anything about your business. But this doesn’t
mean that you’ll have all the time dedicated to doing all of that. After
all of your priorities done, you can opt for a day or two visiting
famous tourist attractions. Planning your itinerary with extra leisure
activities will surely bring excitement to your trip.
