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.
Travelling needs to be taken into consideration as when travelling with many students you need to book out entire buses. This means that the bus company must have their payment upfront to secure their income for the day. Fortunately this type of booking means reduced rates.
When making bookings for a volume of people many companies are willing to reduce their rates, especially when they hear that it is for a group of kids. The only glitch comes in that they want their fees paid in advance so as to guarantee the sale of the ticket. If you do not fill the space the company will still have received its money so they do not really mind who takes it or of its not taken at all.
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.
When it comes to booking the places on the tour vehicles at the movie set, you are to pay in advance as they make many bookings for individuals on these vehicles and if you want the group to be kept together, you have to order the seats in advance. Here they will give you a reduction in the fee if there are more than 20 people.
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.
The train company is willing to give discount rates if there are more than 15 people so that they can block fill the sleeping accommodation and make arrangements for meal times. Here you have to pay for this 2 months in advance. For student group travel of more than 15 people under the age of 15 they offer a small discount.
