Excitement is high at the local high school as the principal announces the annual student group travel tour. Everyone is eager to go as this is said to be great fun. This year they are going to the international theme park as well as an ice show, visiting a movie set, scuba diving and travelling home by locomotive.
This type of tour takes a lot of fine planning as one wants to keep the costs of such a tour as low as possible so that the students can afford it. There are a lot of people concerned when plotting such a trip. Such planning is no easy job.
When it comes to getting the kids to the international theme park for the day you have to book an entire bus. Bus companies insist that you pay for this in advance and that you charter the entire bus irrespective of how many people there are in it. This means that you may have to pay for empty seats if the bus has more than 20 places.
Fortunately when booking events for a number of people many of the companies offer special rates provided you can guarantee the volume of individuals. This means having to pay upfront for the event so that they can be assured they will receive their money for the particular occasion. This is why when arranging such tours, the fees are due a few months prior to the actual event.
The trip to the theme park is different though and you only pay on the day you get there. Depending on how many people are in the group they too will give you a reduced rate. This though, depends on the age of the kids entering.
Touring the Hollywood movie set is done in tour vehicles, each of which can carry 20 people. If the individuals are under the age of 15 they get a discount. Other than that they have to pay full fees. This payment has to be booked and paid for in advance to ensure that the company has sold tickets for the entire bus.
The ice show insists that if there are more than 20 people you have to make a block booking to get a discount in price, but this does not include the front row tickets. You have to sit in the middle of the row. The company wants to be able to guarantee the seat has been booked and paid for in advance.
Booking for the scuba diving has to be done two months in advance and paid for in full. Only children under the age of 14 will get a small discount. Such companies feel that the older kids are more responsibility and therefore do not qualify for discount. You also have to place a multi booking for more than 20 people.
For the student group travel ride home on the steam engine, you have to book and pay for the entire group 2 months in advance. Only children under the age of 14 get a reduced fee. The advance booking is to ensure that there is enough room for everyone to sleep and so that they can be prepared to cater for the volume you book for.
