German term or phrase: Nach der Tour ist vor der Tour
This is the German title of a holiday brochure with touring suggestions - hotels, restaurants, day trips etc. Can anyone suggest a neat, zippy equivalent for the English title?

Explanation:
Dieses "nach ist vor" ist wirklich schwierig im Englischen, deshalb würde ich vorschlagen, es ein bisschen zu umschreiben. Andere Vorschläge:
Always the text tour in mind.
The next tour is always ahead.

agree  Darin Fitzpatrick: I like the first one. Agreed that the wordplay won't work in English.

Explanation:
English doesn't use the word "tour" that much - something like "trip" or "break" may be more approrpiate, especially if the things described aren't genuine "tours" (i.e. a series of stops at different destinations). "The next tour is never far" doesn't work for me - it could be taken as saying that all trips are short ones, and it's a bit disparaging of people who do only take (say) one holiday a year.
