With the annual student group travel tour coming up, there is much excitement in the air at the local high school. Everyone is thrilled as this year it is a trip to a theme park, a trip to a movie set and the ice extravaganza followed by a scuba diving course. After that it is the trip home on the train.
This type of tour takes a lot of fine planning as one wants to keep the costs of such a tour as low as possible so that the students can afford it. There are a lot of people concerned when plotting such a trip. Such planning is no easy job.
When arranging this, one has to take many things such as travel into consideration. In order to transport many students at one time, you have to book out entire busses and a large portion of the train. These bookings need to be made well in advance, if you are to find any success.
Fortunately when booking events for a number of people many of the companies offer special rates provided you can guarantee the volume of individuals. This means having to pay upfront for the event so that they can be assured they will receive their money for the particular occasion. This is why when arranging such tours, the fees are due a few months prior to the actual event.
The trip to the theme park is different though and you only pay on the day you get there. Depending on how many people are in the group they too will give you a reduced rate. This though, depends on the age of the kids entering.
Touring the Hollywood movie set is done in tour vehicles, each of which can carry 20 people. If the individuals are under the age of 15 they get a discount. Other than that they have to pay full fees. This payment has to be booked and paid for in advance to ensure that the company has sold tickets for the entire bus.
For the ice extravaganza you are forced to make a block booking in order to get a reduced rate. This is so that the company can reserve the seats and allocate them to the group. The special rate also does not include front row seats.
Booking for the scuba diving has to be done two months in advance and paid for in full. Only children under the age of 14 will get a small discount. Such companies feel that the older kids are more responsibility and therefore do not qualify for discount. You also have to place a multi booking for more than 20 people.
For student group travel trip home on the train, all fees have to be paid in full in advance. This ensures that the train company will have a place for each student to sleep and eat. Once again you will receive a special rate if you book for more than 20 people over the age of 15.
