There are several flavours of traveller: those who simply like to grab their passport and go, and people who prefer to book a few key activities then let the rest of their holiday take care of itself. Then, there are the CHOs – or chief holiday officers – who like to squeeze the most out of every break by dedicating the run-up to the joy of careful planning.

For this type of traveller – often the planner of the family – getting the details exactly right is their superpower, and the journey (including all that delicious travel prep) is every bit as important as the destination. Those travelling alongside them can rely on their efforts – often with a sigh of relief – to make sure every holiday runs smoothly.
