Group Organizer Guide - Steps to Creating, Selling and Marketing a Group

STEP 1: Select a destination and a theme

Group IST offers a variety of special interest travel experiences around the world. You might want to consider:
  • Barges in France, traveling through the canals on what is best described as a floating country inn.'
  • Small ship cruises in destinations like the Greek Islands, Australia and even our own Pacific Northwest.
  • Religious pilgrimages and spiritual journeys to Europe, Canada, Mexico and even places like Ethiopia.
  • Wine Tours worldwide from Europe to Australia to South America and South Africa.
You select the type of travel, focus and destination that best fit the interests of your potential traveling companions. As you peruse our websites (for a link to all our websites and travel programs, click here) — and the myriad of travel programs that we offer, please consider the following as it pertains to enlisting and traveling with your group:

Special Interest — Do you want to concentrate on a particular theme, as we mentioned a wine tour, small ship cruise, spiritual journey?

Destinations or regions to be experienced — Where do you think your group would like to travel?

Length of tour — We have programs for as few as 4 days to as many as 30.

Price — What is the approximate budget, per person, for your group? This is just an estimate. Our group staff is prepared to work with you to fine tune before you contact your potential travel companions.

Time of year you plan to travel — When do you want to travel? Some people, like teachers, have very defined travel times while others are flexible. Traveling during off-peak times can help you greatly reduce the program cost while still allowing you to have a wonderful travel experience.

Number of included activities and excursions — How much of your program do you want pre-arranged?
