Organizing school tours with Experiential Pathways is a seamless and stress-free process. Our expert team supports schools at every step, from planning to execution, allowing teachers to focus on achieving the best outcomes for students. Setting up a student travel program typically involves the following 4 stages:
1. Consultation and Customization:
We begin by closely collaborating with schools to understand their educational goals, preferred destinations, budget, and travel dates. Our team then creates a tailored program proposal, which includes detailed itineraries, quotes, and all the necessary information to help get the tour started.
2. Approval and Launch:
Once the school approves the plan, our dedicated Group Travel Coordinator (GTC) takes over to guide the planning process. The GTC is your main point of contact throughout the journey, providing essential support and administrative assistance. We’ll then launch the tour to students and parents, offering marketing materials to generate interest.
3. Pre-Departure Planning
Proper preparation is key to ensuring a smooth and successful trip. Our team provides comprehensive pre-departure briefings, covering trip logistics, financial planning, insurance, medical information, and risk management.
