Group Travel

Have a group of friends who'd like to see the world? Your turn to plan the family reunion? Want to celebrate a milestone birthday at sea? It's a simple as forming a group. We have experts for that!

GROUP BENEFITS WITH GDS TRAVEL SOLUTIONS

 

  • Collaboration: I listen closely to understand my clients’ goals and traveler profiles for each trip. I’m here to serve your needs, not try to sell you on some high-commission product. I advise throughout the planning and proposal process and ensure we agree on the best itinerary and price for your guests.

 

  • Customization: No two tours are exactly alike. Every itinerary we create together is tailor-made for your organization or traveling party. 

  

  • Operations: I manage all the logistical arrangements such as airport transfers, hotel blocks and room lists, local transportation, group dining, guided tours, ticketed events. 

 

  • Pre and Post Arrangements: I can make pre and post trip arrangements for your guests including flights, hotels and activities for a seamless travel experience.

 

  • Tour Directing: A tour director is different than a group leader. Your group leader is someone influential who accompanies the group to represent your organization and engage with guests throughout the trip. A tour director works diligently in the background making re-confirmations, keeping the group on schedule and looking after the safety and well-being of your guests. 

 

  • Peace of Mind: GDS Travel Solutions has partnered with Travel Guard, a leading travel insurance provider in business for over 20 years, to provide specially-priced protection plans for our groups on itineraries with 10 or more travelers. Travel Insured offers robust benefits including trip cancellation and delay, medical emergency and evacuation, pre-existing condition waiver and much more. For your valued guests and their travel investment, this is a must!

 

  • Follow-up: Post-trip surveys can be individually designed and compiled for your organization.

 

  • Affordability: My planning fee is customized for each group and can be included in the trip price, along with any tour director expenses. The program cost for your group leader may also be included in the price of the trip, and a trip protection plan may be complimentary for the group leader.
