Step 1: Request More Information
Questions and answers to discuss with your travel consultant:
- What is your destination?
- How many days are you interested in traveling (including transportation time)?
- How many people do you anticipate traveling?
- What is the target price of the trip?
- What is the educational focus of the trip?
- What are your preferred accommodations (economy, moderate, deluxe)?
- What means of transportation are you interested in using?
- Which meals do you want included?
- What activities/attractions are of special interest to include in the trip?
- Do you have a tour leader you would like to request?
Step 2: Proposal Development and Selection
We believe very strongly in providing as much information as possible regarding your trip. Therefore, we will provide five (5) package prices up front. These prices fluctuate based on the number of people in your group. You will never have to guess the price should you have more or less travelers than anticipated. If you are uncertain of how many people will sign up for this trip, we suggest charging a middle price. Should your numbers fall in a lower price category, it is easier to refund money than to ask for more from parents.
Step 3: Reservations
- Reserve quality motor coaches.
- Reserve rooms at a quality student-safe hotel.
- Reserve other significant attractions important to your group.
Reservations are considered tentative, contingent on the receipt of your signed trip agreement and reservation form.
Step 4: Trip Agreement
- Travel dates
- Price
- Price Inclusions
- Deposit amounts and due dates
- Rooming list due date
- Cancellation policies
Once this document is signed by overseeing party, trip will be confirmed.
Step 5: Prepare for Tour
- Chaperones are recruited.
- Forms are collected.
- Rooming list is prepared and submitted.
- Payments are collected and submitted as outlined in trip agreement.
