THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME IN TOURISM ACTIVITIES
Time is one of the most fundamental elements of human existence and impacts almost every aspect of life. It can be approached from various perspectives, such as the biological cycle, personal and professional development, among others.
Imagine if you won an absurd amount of money. People would have various destinations for using this money, but at a certain moment, they would all do the same thing: TRAVEL. In other words, tourism and the consumer desires of people from all profiles. The decision to travel is one of the most anticipated moments for people; many of them plan their vacations, or rather, plan their trips, throughout the entire year.
The first aspect related to time management from the tourist’s perspective refers to planning, that is, researching the tourist destination (e.g., tourist attractions, language, necessary documentation, accommodations, transportation, travel agencies, etc.), gathering opinions from others about the location, and comparing it with other tourist destinations. Organizing your trip in advance will ensure better service quality, better prices, and fewer unexpected issues during your travels, meeting the preferences and expectations of customers.
Time management is also related to the quality of the tourist experience. In this sense, while some tourists wish to visit three cities in five days in a superficial manner, which may lead to dissatisfaction with the experience, other tourists have a genuine interest in getting to know the local culture, visiting non-touristy places, and interacting with the local community. In other words, they seek to create unforgettable experiences. Therefore, time is one of the primary factors that will influence the quality of the customers’ experience.
The tourist who wants to maximize their experience in the city needs to consider some free time in their planning in order to enjoy additional activities recommended by local residents, a special event, or even to visit a place that wasn’t originally planned. The unexpected, along with spontaneity, adds a special flavor to the tourist’s journey.
At this moment, I cannot help but emphasize the need to hire a professional from the tourism sector, and I will present a powerful justification: Did you know that in just one day you can quality experience some of the most important tourist attractions in the city of Rio de Janeiro? Many people believe that it takes many days to fully enjoy the wonderful city, but as a co-founder of Xperiencer Tour Brazil, I believe that in addition to technical expertise, knowledge of tourist information, and proficiency in foreign languages, our team excels in planning our activities, in which we present itineraries that include numerous tourist attractions, such as:
City Tour: Arcos da Lapa, Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian of Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer, Selarón Steps, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Santa Teresa.
Old Rio: Tram ride to Santa Teresa, Valentin Castle, Santa Teresa Hotel, old houses (from the Imperial era), Museum of Ruins, Arcos da Lapa, Selarón Steps, Santo Antônio Convent, Confeitaria Colombo, and the Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading.
Little Africa: Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint Benedict Church, Stevedores Square, Valongo Suspended Garden, Valongo Wharf, Conceição Hill, Pedra do Sal, São Francisco da Prainha Square, and panels with black paintings.
Each of these itineraries presented above can be completed in a single day, but in order to optimize time, it is essential to know the region, the logistics of transportation, the service providers, the professionals involved, the operational system of the places visited, and to be aware of potential problems that may arise along with the countermeasures. This knowledge is crucial not only to optimize the client’s time but also to provide an unforgettable experience.
It doesn’t matter if your request involves creating itineraries that span multiple cities or even several countries, as this type of challenge is the fuel for our creativity. The team at Xperiencer Tour Brazil is in a continuous improvement process, aiming to create customized proposals that promote authentic experiences in line with our clients’ expectations/requirements, profiles, and time availability.
