What is a Travel Packing Checklist?

A travel packing checklist is a structured list of items that travelers use to ensure they pack everything they need for a trip. It typically includes essentials like clothing, toiletries, medications, travel documents, electronics, and other personal items relevant to the destination and planned activities. This checklist helps travelers stay organized, reduces the likelihood of forgetting important items, and simplifies the packing process.
