Do you love to travel? Are you part of a community of people that have the same interests - a book club, a crafting group, a group of golf buddies? What if you could get free or discounted travel, see new and exciting people, and enjoy those activities you love as a part of the trip? If this sounds exciting or fun to you, consider the possibility of being a group travel leader on your next vacation.
Some tips for leading a travel group include:

  • Be flexible.
    Things don't always go according to plan when you're traveling. Flights can be delayed, hotels can be overbooked, and activities can be cancelled. It's important to be flexible and adaptable in order to handle unexpected challenges.

  • Be a good communicator.
    One of the most important skills for a group travel leader is communication. You need to be able to communicate clearly and effectively with your group members. This includes giving clear instructions, answering questions, and resolving problems.

  • Be a good leader.
    Group travel leaders need to be able to lead and motivate their group. This means being able to make decisions, resolve conflicts, and keep everyone on track.

  • Be a good role model.
    As a group travel leader, you're setting an example for your group members. This means being respectful of the local culture, being mindful of the environment, and being responsible for your own actions.


If you are passionate about travel and going on a group trip sounds like fun, it's important to consider using a travel agency. They can make the planning process much easier and help you have a more enjoyable and stress-free trip. When flights are delayed or other issues arise, they are your advocate and this is especially important when traveling with a group.
Some of the benefits of booking with a travel agency include:

  • Peace of mind
    When you book a group trip with a travel agent, you can rest assured that everything has been taken care of. The travel agent will handle all of the details, from booking flights and hotels to arranging activities and excursions. This can be a huge relief, especially if you're not used to planning trips on your own.

  • Expertise
    Travel agents have a wealth of experience and knowledge about different destinations. They can help you choose the right trip for your interests and budget. They can also provide you with valuable information about the destination, such as what to see and do, where to eat, and how to get around.

  • Discounts
    Travel agents often have access to discounts and deals that are not available to the general public. This can save you a significant amount of money on your trip.

  • Personal service
    Travel agents are there to help you every step of the way. They can answer your questions, address any concerns you may have, and help you resolve any problems that may arise. This can be a huge advantage, especially if you're traveling to a new or unfamiliar destination.

  • 24/7 support
    A travel agent is always available to answer your questions and help you with any problems that may arise during your trip.

  • Flexibility
    A good travel agent will be able to work with you to customize your trip and make changes as needed.


Group trips can be a fun and exciting way to bond with your friends, meet new people, and learn about other cultures; all while engaging in activities you love. With a little planning, you can ensure that your trip is everything you dreamed of and more.
