We love group travel, well, many of us. But group travels are not as easy as solo travel or when travelling with one more person. They are hard to plan, hard to get the group together about something and many other challenges. Here are some of the things you should consider when for a group trip with either your family or friends for it to be successful.
Have a look.
1.Know Who Wants To Go For The Trip
I have arranged for four group trips with my friends, two of which failed because my friends never showed up or very few showed up. You need to be very sure of who is willing to go without turning back during the last minute. Those who chuck out during the last minute can ruin the whole trip.
2. Decide On Where To Go
Every person who wants to go for the trip should have their own idea of where they should go and where you guys will have the best time. While it’s an excellent idea to take note of all the suggested places and put them on your group travel bucket list, you still need to pick one destination for this particular trip by researching on the suggested places, check on their cost, distance and travel requirements if any. The group can then narrow down and pick the best two and further choose the last best.
3. Book Well in Advance
Booking hotels or flights in advance helps a lot because apart from getting a better deal, you also get to commit all members of the group to the trip as they have paid for it so no one will bail out during the last minute.
4. Decide On What To Do at The Destination.
This can be best done by booking group safari packages and finding out what you can do and see at your destination. You also need to pre-book what needs to be pre-booked especially at the site of your visit.
5. Have Clear “Rules of Engagement” For The Trip
People are different no doubt, but since this is a group trip and one of the group members might want to go swimming while the other wants to go hiking or mountain biking and even drinking, you all need to have rules of engagement on how you guys will enjoy your trip.
