Business Travelers need efficient plans to meet trip objectives that may entail visiting several locations in a compressed period of time whereas family and group vacationers select destinations primarily on the basis of cultural, gastronomic, wellness and other preferences. 


The Logistics of Travel are defined as:

Hub and Spoke Locations smaller towns, rural and urban areas with regional rail, bus, van, car and air connections strategically located within 200 or less miles of multiple larger cities and their attractions.
Sightseeing, meals and other planned events in a hub and spoke fashion, saving time and money, but also an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the places and the people you are visiting.
Mode of Transport selections are a function of number of persons, trip length as well as the time of year you are traveling. Rationalizing travel movements, ascertaining transport mode(s) availability and costs are the key to a successful trip planning.
There are many points of interest in the United States; all regions offer destinations rich in historic, cultural and culinary traditions. Some anchor locations from which you can base your travel movements:
