Practical Writing: Trip Itinerary

A trip itinerary provides the travelers with a general description of a program for sightseeing. It usually consists of a tour arrangement and a list of scenic spots for traveler to visit. Such trip itineraries are often seen in newspapers and magazines, and, more and more popular, on the Internet, in tour advertisements.
