Do people enjoy vacations less when everything is planned?

People travel for memories, and memories often prefer surprises.

Sometimes. Planning reduces uncertainty, but excessive planning can remove spontaneity and make experiences feel less memorable.

The itinerary is perfect.

Every hour has a purpose.

Yet something feels missing.

The hidden mechanism is discovery loss.

Humans enjoy control.

But they also enjoy surprise.

Unexpected moments create stronger memories because they were not expected.

People think great trips are carefully designed.

Very often, they are partly discovered along the way.
