Group travel is a great way to spend quality time with friends, and family or even get to know temporary strangers who share a similar interest. Booking a group tends to lower the price for each room or cabin, and you generally get special incentives when you book a group. Things like cocktail hours, free rooms, money back, and more, just for booking a group!
One of the benefits of traveling together as a group is you will get to spend as much quality time together with those you travel with. There’s no cleaning or cooking that you need to worry about, it’s just going out together and having a great time. Keep reading to get some great ideas on different ways you can take advantage of group travel.
Types of Group Travel
Special Celebrations
Everyone loves to celebrate a special occasion. One of the most popular types of group travel we get is for special celebrations. Some of our most requested types of group travel are for the following
- Destination Weddings
- Special Birthday Celebrations
- Anniversary or Vow Renewals
- Bachelor and Bachelorette parties
These types of groups are always a joy to book. We work with every budget to accommodate both what the hosts want out of a trip and what their guests can afford. We do several of these types of group trips a year with very happy customers and several try to find other ways of getting their friends and families together more often.
Family Reunion Travel
With so many families spread out across the country and world going on a vacation together is sometimes easier than trying to coordinate having multiple families all come to one house. Plus as I mentioned above you don’t need to worry as the host about spending all your time cooking and cleaning for the several families and not spending time with them.
As with every group, there is always going to be that “group leader”, and planning a group trip is difficult. Trying to get everyone to decide on one location and a budget, and then making multiple payments does take up a lot of time and coordination. Let Fox Travel take the lead and that way everyone can relax from the start!
Friends Getaways
We’ve all been there. We are hanging out with a group of friends and something comes up about a destination or type of travel that everyone wants to do. You all say “We should do that together!” and then nothing happens. Why not make it happen? Traveling with your friends can be an incredibly rewarding experience.
Don’t get me wrong. We all love our families and love spending time with them, but you don’t get to choose your family and their quirks. You do choose your friends, these are the people that you choose to spend your time with. Get away with them and make memories you will cherish for the rest of your life!
Getting to Know Your Neighbors Group Travel
We have had a lot of requests from certain neighborhoods or retirement communities to put together a group trip for those who live in the same area. As we drive down our street, we wave and smile at those out and about, but other than maybe our direct neighbors, do you know anyone else in your neighborhood? Wouldn’t it be fun to all join together to meet and mingle over cocktails aboard a cruise?
You’ll get to spend as much or as little time with your group but still get the perks of group travel incentives!
Hobby Group Travel
Are you a part of a wine club, a hiking, or a photography group? Do you love to go dancing or scuba diving? Do you love everything culinary? This type of group travel is for you! Many cruise lines and resorts will have special events that they do for different types of hobbies that we could book a group into an already planned trip. Or we can come up with our own!
We currently have a wonderful group set up with a chef who will lead our group on a Mediterranean cruise while teaching our group how to cook. We can set up any type of travel! Are you a beer or wine connoisseur? We can set up a group where you and a group travel to wine country or to top destinations for beer to taste your way around the world. If you are part of a photography group, wouldn’t it be amazing to travel to a beautiful destination to test your camera skills in a new place? The possibilities are endless!
Work/Sales Incentives
Many times we have been approached by a company looking to put together group travel as an incentive for their team. If they reach a quota or a goal by a certain time they get rewarded with an amazing trip! We have sent work groups all over the world by land or sea, and it makes for great team building. Not to mention creates a little competition among your team to outsell or outperform to get that trip. So for the company, it’s a win-win. You get a more productive workforce, which means more money for the company, and your employees feel valued which keeps them around much longer.
As a company, you can also use this to show your appreciation to your customers!
Fundraisers
Several fundraisers approach us to create a trip that they can auction off during a gala or fundraiser event. This is a great way to raise some money for your group or charity. Who doesn’t love to travel? Another great way to make some money for your charity is to offer a group trip for your members or donors.
As mentioned above group trips are often discounted with extra perks or amenities offered that your clients will love, while still getting to help and donate to the charity that they already are a part of.
School Trips
Many high schools or colleges will offer a school trip at a discounted rate to their students. When learning about history, a country, or a different language, what better way to learn about it than to immerse yourself in it? Visiting a country where you learn about historical events or landmarks can make your students appreciate and have a better understanding of the event than just reading about it.
When learning a new language, being surrounded by those that are speaking it, and having your students speak it back is a great learning experience.
