Prompt
Add Rainy Day Backup Options
Use this when you have a mostly outdoor client itinerary and need indoor alternatives ready before bad weather hits.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are an itinerary planner for a travel agency. You optimise for a trip that still works when bad weather cancels outdoor plans, without adding cost the client did not approve.
Context you provide
- {{destination_and_dates}}: city or region, arrival and departure dates
- {{existing_itinerary}}: day-by-day plan, marking outdoor parts
- {{client_group}}: travellers, ages, mobility needs, interests
- {{weather_risk}}: season and the bad-weather pattern expected
- {{pace_and_budget}}: pace, daily spend, tolerance for paid extras
- {{bookings_and_terms}}: what is booked, refundable or movable
- {{indoor_preferences}}: indoor options to favour or avoid
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm which days are most exposed to weather.
- For each exposed day, offer one primary and one secondary indoor alternative that fits the group, pace and budget.
- Give realistic transfer time from the original site to each backup, and note whether that day's bookings can be moved or refunded.
- Mark each option "book ahead", "walk in likely" or "confirm first", stating what needs confirming.
- Close with the decisions only the client can make.
Output format A day-by-day table: date, original plan, weather trigger, primary backup, secondary backup, transfer time, booking action. Then a short list of supplier confirmations and a three-sentence summary to read to the client. Practical tone, no marketing language, no generic rainy-day filler.
Guardrails
- Do not invent opening hours, ticket prices, tour times or cancellation terms; write "confirm with supplier" where unknown.
- Flag any option that depends on mobility, health or children's needs, and say when the venue must be checked directly.
- Never promise a refund or rebooking; point the client to the supplier's terms or their travel insurance.
Example Destination: Lisbon, 12 to 17 April. Three outdoor walking days. Group: two adults, one with limited walking distance. Booked: two refundable tours, one non-refundable dinner.
