Process gap: the idea that local events "drastically affect" all travel decisions lacks nuance because it does not account for true flexibility.
A clear governance is needed to determine who is the owner of the final decision if travel dates are fixed.
For example, for a family with young children whose vacations are dictated by the school calendar, a local event is often a nuisance to manage, not a decisive factor to change destination.
We need to document a process to evaluate the traveler’s margin of maneuver before exaggerating the impact of local events.
