WHAT CONSTITUTES A GROUP?
Depending on the destination, as few as 10 people can be considered a group. We’re also happy to cater to groups up to 90 guests.
WHY DO PEOPLE TRAVEL TOGETHER AS A GROUP?
Exploring Common Interests
People enjoy traveling with others who share their interests and enjoy exploring and learning about new destinations, cultures, scenery or wildlife.
Just to Get Away
Friends or family often like to get away together on a planned, all-inclusive itinerary, sometimes with a destination or special event as the focus, such as a family reunion, anniversary, or birthday.
For a Sense of Community
Clients traveling solo often appreciate joining other like-minded travelers, leading to friendships that can evolve into annual organized group trips.
Richer, More Specialized Experiences
For clients who want a more unique travel experience, Escorted Group Departures are a great option. They add an exclusive element to group packages and are great for attracting clients seeking extra peace of mind.
Bonus Agency Benefit: Growth Through Groups
Offering specialized group travel services can build word-of-mouth in your community. Your dedicated group tours can attract new business, increase your client base, and can lead to repeat group bookings.
