Discounts vary depending on a number of factors, like the size of your group, destination, time of the year, duration of stay, special activities and more. Our experience within the market allows us to negotiate competitive rates on your behalf. We organised hundreds of groups each year, so we have a good understanding of the rates we should be achieving at all destinations and on certain dates. Our buying power also means we can pass any savings on to you. On each group quote we will clearly identify the rates that we have negotiated for you, and how much we are saving and as a percentage.
Groups can start at as low as 5 people depending on the travel provider. Plus, there is no size limit or maximum number of passengers. The more, the merrier!
It all depends on the complexity of the group travel brief, in general if it is a simple A to B group travel request we will charge a booking fee for airfares, however we will not charge a fee for the accommodation as we’re paid a venue finding fee by the accommodation provider that we confirm on your behalf. We’ll still negotiate the lowest possible price, almost certainly better than you would get yourself. Negotiating costs is as much about getting value for money as it is about reducing prices.
As the Group Organiser you play an important role. You begin the process once you contact us as that means that you have group of interested individuals in mind. You are responsible for the program in order to attract enough participants for the optimal sized group. As the liaison between your group, you are responsible for payment collection, finalising details for each individual traveller and other details. Once on tour you will be the main contact person for the hotel and our local agents should any questions arise. As the Group Organiser, it is possible to earn travel benefits depending upon the number of tour participants that travel with you.
It is never too early to begin planning in order to obtain the best air and hotel availability. Last minute travel is also possible, so please call us to discuss the details.
Group travel generally gets better pricing than individual travel. Group travel also is able to get complimentary inclusions based on the size of the group. Full payment is not required up-front when booking a group. We are able to block both airline space and hotel rooms with an estimated number of travellers allowing you time to gather trip participants, while knowing you have confirmed space.
You are able to design a customised itinerary to specifically fit the interests of your group and their budget. Everything from airfare, hotel accommodation and sightseeing are arranged by one of our group experts.
