5 Tips for Group Travel Planning

 

Planning a group trip can be both challenging and stressful. Especially when you have to take every group member into account, it makes the trip more expensive and requires even further planning. To help you prepare smarter for your group trip, follow our tips below.

 

  1. Choose a Travel Planning Leader

First things first, you will need to choose somebody to be in charge of travel planning. Everyone can be involved in the planning process; however, the leader should finalize the plans and contact the necessary people. They should also ensure everybody is updated about the trip and send out pertinent reminders about certain details.

 

  1. Set Your Budget

Picking and staying on your budget is one of the biggest causes of stress during group vacation planning. People often have very different ideas about how much money they would like to spend on a vacation. You should all discuss and agree on a budget. This way, there will be no surprise costs later on in the trip planning process. You may also want to consider having a shared pot of money for things like food, especially if you plan on cooking.

 

  1. Book Your Flights First

When planning your trip, the first thing you should do is book your flights. This will lock in the dates of your trip and give you solid dates to plan your trip around. This will make it a lot easier to fill in the remainder of your itinerary. Plus, booking earlier can help you save money and increase your chances of sitting together on the flight.

 

  1. Think About Alternative Lodging Accommodations

Another big consideration you will need to think about is where you will stay. Though a hotel is the first choice for many travelers, there may be better options for groups. This is, of course, unless you are searching for an experience at an all-inclusive resort. Otherwise, you should look into renting a house or apartment. This will give everyone in your group more space to move around, hang out together, and cook group meals. Plus, many great vacation rentals are less expensive than hotels.

 

  1. Split Up

Even though you are traveling as a group, you do not have to do everything together. It is unlikely that everybody in your group will want to do the same thing at all times. Some of the people in your group may want to spend the day at the beach whereas others may want to explore a nearby city. This is totally alright and should be welcomed. Plus, if there is something that you want to do on your own, don’t be afraid to do it. Your trip is about having fun; don’t head home with any regrets.
