“TOBA LAKE”
A long time ago in a small village on the shores of Lake Toba there lived a married couple with a
daughter, Seruni. She was sad because her father set her up with a young man who was her own
cousin. She had a love affair with a young man in her village. Desperate because she didn't know
what to do, she wanted to end her life by jumping into Lake Toba with a pet dog, Toki. When
she walked toward the cliffs on the shores of Lake Toba, she suddenly fell into a hole large stone
to get into the base. She was so desperate not to ask for help to anyone. She preferred to die in
the hole, she told herself. Suddenly the walls of the hole begins to close. "Docked ...! Docked
stone..!" Cried Seruni, so that the stone wall is getting closer and choke her. Toki saw the
incident immediately ran to the house to ask for help. At home, Toki immediately approached
Seruni's parents with barking, pawing the ground and pacing around his master, Toki tried to tell
that Seruni was in danger. Aware of what is implied by the dog, Seruni's Parents immediately
headed for the field. Both ran to follow Toki and followed the group of villagers up to the edge
of the hole where their daughters fall. Residents just heard the faint sound of a hole "Docked,
Docked stone...." However, no one could reach that fell into the hole until the shock was
catastrophic and making a hole slowly docked and closed by itself. Seruni inside the hole was
eventually trapped and could not be saved. Some time after the shaking stopped, at the top of the
hole was closed and it appeared a large stone that resembled a girl's body that seemed to hang on
the walls of the cliff on the shores of Lake Toba. People who saw the incident believe that the
stone is an incarnation of Seruni and later renamed it as "Batu Gantung", Hanging Stone in
English.

Itinerary
A. Brainstorming
Cr: https://avonturin.id/blog/apa-itu-itinerary/
Do you know what is that?
Have you ever seen that?
What do you think about this itinerary?
B. What is itinerary? And what types of itinerary?
An itinerary is a plan of a journey showing the route and the places that the visitor will
visit. Thus, it is a schedule or timetable produced in association with a package tour. It is
basically designed to identify the route, day-by-day journey format, origin, destination, and
all the enroute halting points, period of halts along with accommodation, mode of travel,
activities and other services offered during a visitor’s tour.
An itinerary is not just a piece of information but a selling point aimed at convincing
potential customers. Itineraries are also produced for travellers’ booking flights; it then
includes departure time, airport, terminal details, flight number, baggage limits, transits, seat
allocation and minimum check-in time, which doesn’t really include any marketing element.
But package tour itineraries play a key role in attracting clients.
The quality of a tour package is determined by the suitability, nature and
comprehensiveness of a tour itinerary. It is generally printed in tour brochures but only after
the clearance from the expert team as it includes logical inclusion and sequential arrangement
of a variety of features.
A package tour itinerary may be divided into five types with the primary objective of
reminding the duties and responsibilities of different stakeholders involved in organising a
package to such as tour managers, vendors, coach drivers, interpreter, escorts and guides.
Thus, the five types of itinerary can be tourist’s itinerary, tour manager’s itinerary, escort or
guide’s itinerary, vendor’s itinerary and coach driver’s itinerary. Another classification of
itinerary may also be done keeping in mind the needs of tourists and convenience of tour
operators such as GIT itinerary, FIT itinerary, Tailor-made itinerary and special interest
itinerary. Let us now learn the nature of these types in detail.
Classification to remind individual responsibilities:
Tourists’ itinerary
Tourists’ itinerary is given to a particular tourist for his reference as part of the
package tour. A tourist expects the tour to be organised as per the itinerary
mentioned in the package tour he/she has purchased. For planners it is important
to check its feasibility. Generally planners organize FAM trips in advance to have
the feel of the itinerary and identify the limitations and they are rectified before
they are incorporated into a package tour and made available for the reference of
the tourists. Hence tour planners should take into consideration various aspects
such as purpose of tour, budget, accommodation, transportation, choice of
destinations and attractions, activities at destinations, legal issues, host and guest
behaviour and so on. They may also keep certain things as optional.
Basically, a tourist itinerary is a reference for the tourist to follow during his
journey like points of halt, hotel, time taken between two points, meal plans,
activities, attractions to visit etc. apart from arrival and departure points/time and
check-in check-out time. Tour operators are expected to strictly follow the
itinerary. If they intend to change or modify it that should be only in the interest of
safety and security of the guests. And they should take their client into confidence
before doing that.
Tour manager’s itinerary
The role of tour manager is crucial to any package tour as he/she has to
perform different duties from planning to actual operation of the tour continously
on the spot. Professional expertise, knowledge of different travel issues, crisis
management and his/her own personal experiences matter a lot in organising a
tour. Tour manager’s itinerary includes the complete details of the whole tour
from day one to the last day. Apart from the general details as listed in a tourist’s
itinerary a tour managers itinerary also carries information about alternative
arrangements, contact details, quick references, differential rates and tariff details,
details of coach drivers and escorts and guides. This helps him/her to have
complete control over the smooth conduct of the tour as well as to execute
contingency plans if required at times.
Escort or guide’s itinerary
An escort or guide should know in detail where the group is being taken to,
what activities and events are to be organised, time management of the tour and
other group details. Vast experience, knowledge of practical ground difficulties,
presence of mind and readiness to handle crisis of an escort or guide adds to the
successful conduct of a tour. The escorts being physically with the group/tourist
all through
the journey, they are more than expected to deliver and keep the image of the
company in high esteem.
Vendor’s itinerary
Vendors play a major role in delivering what is mentioned in the clients
itinerary. Hence it is unavoidable but to be aware of the specific parts of the
itinerary so as to make the necessary arrangements in advance and delivery to the
fullest satisfaction of the guests when they arrive at their place. For instance, a
hotel may organize a surprise welcome event when the group arrives as per the
nature of the group and time of arrival, may offer special services and enhance the
service satisfaction and value addition. It is possible only if the vendors know at
least the specific part of clients itinerary which is expected from them.
Coach driver’s itinerary
A typical coach driver’s itinerary includes group arrival point and time, pickup
points and time, turn around points, restricted areas of driving, sightseeing
activities, other entertainment activities, parking spaces, entry points, drop-in
points all with specific time. For instance, it may be seen that at places a driver is
asked to drive slow, which is mentioned in his itinerary so that tourist may have a
better view of a monument and take photographs. A copy of the client’s itinerary
resembles a coach driver’s itinerary with the above mentioned additional
informations. This helps the driver in coordinating with the escort and managing
the group.
Step 6 – List any third party activities, attractions, entrance fees and inclusions
List any activities offered by other companies or entrance fees and determine
if they will be included in your tour price or offered as extras. For example, cruises,
bike rides, entry into national parks, caves etc...
