Group Travel

Group Travel

If you’re planning a trip with a group—whether it’s a big family getaway, a club adventure, a reunion, or just a bunch of friends ready to explore the world together—you might assume you have two choices: stick together on a rigid group tour, or go totally DIY and risk endless email threads, mismatched itineraries, and someone inevitably booking the wrong dates.

But there’s a third (and much smarter) option: work with a travel advisor who can build *flexible, independent travelfor your group *and unlock *group benefits* that you probably didn’t even know existed.

Here’s how it works—and why it can make all the difference.

Travel Together—On Your Own Terms

Let’s say you’ve got a group of 12 or more people. You all want to go to Italy, or Costa Rica, or Japan. You don’t necessarily want a cookie-cutter group tour where every meal and moment is pre-planned—but you do want the ease of traveling together, staying close, and not losing track of each other.

That’s where a travel advisor steps in.

A professional advisor can coordinate your flights, hotels, transfers, and even group meals or excursions—*without* locking you into the same daily schedule. You can explore independently during the day, then meet up for a wine tasting or sunset cruise in the evening. Or choose a few shared experiences throughout the trip, while leaving room for different interests.

Everyone gets the trip they want, and nobody has to play “group leader” or spend weeks sorting logistics.

Group Discounts, Even Without a Group Tour

Here’s something most travelers don’t realize: if you have 12 or more people traveling together—even if you’re not on a traditional group tour—you likely qualify for *group discounts*.

Travel advisors have access to:

  • *Reduced hotel rates*

  • *Free room upgrades*

  • *Comped spots for group leaders*

  • *Discounted airfare or group blocks*

  • *Private guides or transfers at group pricing*

  • *Exclusive perks like welcome gifts or amenities*

In many cases, your group can save significantly just by booking through the same advisor—even if you're not all flying together or staying for the same number of nights.

A good travel advisor knows how to piece this all together and negotiate with airlines, hotels, and tour providers to get you the best value possible.

Less Stress. Better Communication.

Coordinating multiple travelers—often with different arrival times, interests, and priorities—can be overwhelming. A travel advisor acts as your single point of contact, keeping everything organized and making sure no one gets left out or left behind.

They can also create shared documents, booking portals, and group chats to keep everyone informed and on track. No more 40-message email chains trying to decide who’s booking what hotel. It’s all streamlined—and that means more time for actual planning (or just getting excited).

The Best of Both Worlds

Using a travel advisor for your pre-formed group doesn’t mean sacrificing flexibility. In fact, it adds flexibility, because you don’t have to worry about logistics, missed connections, or dropped reservations. And with group-size perks baked in, you get access to elevated experiences at a better value.

Whether you’re planning a multi-generational trip, a club retreat, a milestone celebration, or just a long-overdue friends’ adventure, let a travel advisor do the heavy lifting—so you can focus on making memories, not managing details.
