Travel Taiwan checklist tips:

1. Pre-tour fun right now!
Performing tasks in this checklist can be part of the tour! Gather the touring members (family or friends) to compile the list together. Delegate tasks to each adult member and kids. Set off the excitement and momentum for all!

2. Not all pre-tour tasks needed.
Depending on where you are visiting, and who you are touring with, some activities are more needed than others. Take the to-dos that you can use, to include in your own checklist.

3. Make the pre-travel checklist yours.
Take these tasks, put them in a time frame, the dates to complete each by. For example, get health vaccination weeks before the tour. Then prioritize the tasks in order of importance or urgency. Add more to-dos you can think of. In a jiffy – you have created a checklist for your trip!
