Better Together: Curating Big Group Getaways

Traveling together creates bonds!

As large families seek to spend quality time together, specialty groups look for ways to connect, and businesses pursue rapport-building opportunities for their employees, the travel industry is undergoing increased demand for group travel. Recognizing the value within this niche, we at Avanti have our own dedicated Groups Department, expertly helping advisors craft seamless vacations for parties with 10 or more travelers. Let us help you inspire large groups of globetrotters to book with you!

While a party of excited travelers may occasionally approach a travel professional to build their itinerary, seeking out your own groups for large bookings can be daunting – but we’re here to help you confidently score big group getaways for your business! Here are expert tips for reaching out to your community and bringing people together on an itinerary:

Culinary Excursions. Work together with a restaurant or a wine club and tap into their membership program to get a network of travelers.

Educational Outings. Contact schools and universities in your vicinity to offer your expertise in handling their travel programs.

Religious Groups. Connect with a church community and inquire if they’re interested in arranging a trip for their congregation.

Incentive Programs. Approach local companies to find out if they do incentive trips and schedule a face-to-face meeting to explore options to work together.

Special Events. Partner up with a local brewery to design an Oktoberfest experience, or reach out to a theater group and book them for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Sport Matches. Work together with your local sports club and offer to design a special experience to see a game or match abroad.

Once you have an established group, let us help you with all the fine details! We are adept in developing unique itineraries that tap into these special interests – whether a wine-tasting journey to famous vineyards, an educational venture across historic sites, or a specialty festival or event.
