Traveling with a group of your favorite people is sure to be a good time. However, the excitement can make it easy to forget about some necessities, like forgetting to pack chargers, personal items, and more. Luckily, you ended up here. We have listed the top five tips for group travel that will help make this trip and future endeavors easier. Pencil ready? Here we go!
#1: Finalize The Dates And Make Your Reservations
The first step to planning any trip is to decide on your travel dates and make reservations. Depending on how large your group is, it may be a little tricky to find a date when everyone is free and able to go– this is why it is so important to make this your first step. Plus making reservations sooner rather than later will mean you get better prices on your plane tickets, rental property, and car rentals. When you wait until the last minute, prices often skyrocket.
#2: Set A Budget That Works For Everyone
When you plan a group trip, it is important that you establish a budget that works for everyone coming along. Work together to figure out how much money everyone will need for the cost of the trip and anything you do while you’re there. This gives everyone time to save enough money so no one is missing out on the fun stuff. Creating a rough itinerary of places you all want to eat and things you want to do that includes the average cost per person will help everyone in the group prepare financially. Big group? Let each family plan a single day. Set a budget for each day before you make your plans so you don’t have to worry about planning something that might not be doable for everyone.
#3: Determine Transportation
Let’s be real, no one in your group really wants to be the designated driver. Regardless of how you are getting to your destination, once you are there, it might be a good idea to secure professional transportation. This will allow everyone to have a good time without having to worry about how you are getting back to your rental home or hotel. A professional chauffeur can take care of all your transportation needs while you and the group get to relax and enjoy your time away from reality.
#4: Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
If you want to be sure that everyone is going to enjoy their trip, you have to be able to communicate as a group. There are several ways that you can communicate in a group chat instantly– group text messages, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp are just a few ways that you can connect and share your ideas with the group. This is also a good place for everyone to check in while away which can be especially important if you are traveling to another country or unfamiliar city. Hourly check-ins keep people from getting lost along the way and also provide you with peace of mind.
#5: Planning Activities
While it can be fun to just go with the flow, it is important that you go ahead and plan important activities in advance. Does everyone want to try the most recommended restaurants in the city you are visiting? Are there major attractions you don’t want to miss? Make the reservations now so you don’t risk missing out on the stuff you really want to do, see, and try. Create your list of must-dos and get to it.
