Travel And Accommodation Tracker

Keep individual travellers, bookings, arrivals, departures and confirmations in one operational workbook. Teams use Travel Tracker for person-level details and Movement Schedule for the handoff between travel, accommodation and show-day teams. This is not the event-wide transport, parking, route or provider planner; use the transport, parking and accommodation planner for shared access and capacity arrangements.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using it to design event-wide transport routes — Plan shared routes, parking, providers and capacity in the transport, parking and accommodation planner.
  • Leaving confirmations implied — Record explicit confirmation status and update it whenever bookings change.
  • Collecting unnecessary personal data — Keep access restricted and record only information needed for the operational arrangement.
