What kind of information is essential to obtain from clients before a trip?

Obtaining contact information and medical condition(s) from clients is critical to ensuring their safety and well-being during a trip. Contact information is necessary for effective communication, especially in case of emergencies or if plans need to be altered. Having a means to reach clients is essential for providing updates or gathering additional information before and during the trip.

Understanding medical conditions is equally important. This knowledge allows guides to make informed decisions regarding the itinerary, accommodations, and activities to ensure that all clients can participate safely. Additionally, being aware of any medical conditions enables the guide to react promptly should any health-related issues arise during the trip, including the need for medical assistance or adjustments to the planned activities. Overall, this information is foundational to planning a safe and enjoyable experience for clients.
