The Secretariat

Traveling entails a lot of administrative work, such as research, documentation, application for visas, hotel reservations, and flight booking.

Most travelers start their journey with months of research about the place of destination. Every country has its unique cultures, traditions, laws, and customs. It is very important to know the dos and don’ts.

In the case of visa countries, a novice traveler may prepare at least six months to one year before submission of the application forms and requirements. The success rate of receiving a “GRANTED” VISA is very low if the applicant doesn’t have ample time to prepare.

The Secretariat blogs about guides related to traveling, steps to secure a certain visa, and reviews about destinations.

The Secretariat promotes S-M-A-R-T traveling. It means setting SMART objectives in preparation for the travel. (Specific-Measurable-Achievable-Relevant-Time-bound)
