For many kids at the local high school, the annual tour is the highlight of the year. As the principal announces that the tour will be attending and international theme park adventure, visiting a Hollywood movie set, experiencing the ice show, going scuba diving and travelling home by steam engine the excitement is high. Everyone wants a piece of the student group travel.
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.
Many companies are prepared to give group discounts if there are more than 20 people in the cluster. They will usually give you an area of space irrespective of if you fill it or not. They are also mostly insistent on upfront payments.
The trip to the theme park will only be discounted if there are more than 20 kids entering and then they all have to be under the age of 15 years. For this they will accept payment on the day. Payment can be made in advance but there is no special price if you do this.
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.
When it comes to the ice extravaganza, the company insists on payment in advance. They will offer a discount on block bookings of more than 20 people. This way they do not have to concern themselves if the seat gets taken or not. This does not apply to front row places.
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.
