Clubs & Organizations
Your organization has its own purpose. Your group travel should reflect it.
Senior clubs, churches, chambers, civic organizations, alumni groups and special-interest organizations all travel for different reasons.
We take the time to understand what your organization wants from the experience and help explore travel arrangements that meet the needs of your members.
It Starts With Understanding Your Group
There is no single type of organization trip. Before we recommend a destination or travel package, we want to learn about your members, why they want to travel and what is important to your organization.
Senior Clubs
Comfortable pacing, convenient transportation, organized excursions, accessibility considerations and opportunities to enjoy the experience together.
Churches & Faith Groups
Travel may include fellowship, worship time, faith-related destinations, private excursions or requests for an appropriate place to gather or hold a service.
Chambers of Commerce
Combine travel with networking, business connections, meetings, social activities or opportunities for members to experience a destination together.
Civic & Service Organizations
Trips can combine fellowship, member activities, group excursions and, when applicable, opportunities that support the organization's mission.
Alumni Groups
Reconnect classmates and friends through shared destinations, reunions, special gatherings and memorable experiences together.
Special-Interest Groups
Food, wine, history, gardening, photography, music, culture or another shared passion can become part of the travel experience.
Tell Us What Would Make the Trip Work for Your Members
The destination is only one part of planning a successful organization trip.
We also want to understand what your group may need once you arrive.
- Private or group excursions
- Meeting or gathering space
- Space for worship or a church service
- Group dining opportunities
- Networking or social events
- Educational or cultural experiences
- Accessibility considerations
- Free time for members to explore independently
- Special-interest activities
- Pre- or post-trip extensions
We work with our travel suppliers to explore the options available for your particular trip.
Let's Ask the Questions Before We Plan the Trip
Thinking about these details early helps us identify destinations and suppliers that may be a better fit for your organization.
Do You Need Meeting Space?
Tell us whether your group needs a private room, presentation area, networking space or another place to gather.
Would You Like Group Excursions?
Your members may want to explore together through sightseeing, cultural experiences or activities selected for the group.
Are There Special Activities?
A shared hobby, purpose or interest may become part of the itinerary and make the trip more meaningful to your members.
Do Members Have Special Needs?
Let us know about mobility, accessibility or other travel-related requests so we can explore available supplier options.
A Trip Can Include More Than Sightseeing
A church group may want fellowship to be an important part of the experience.
Perhaps your group would like a special excursion together, time for worship, a private gathering or an appropriate space in which to hold a service.
Those are the kinds of needs we want to know about before we begin building your trip.
We Can Explore Options For:
- Worship or service space
- Private group gatherings
- Faith-related sites and experiences
- Special group excursions
- Group dining or fellowship time
- Transportation for group activities
- Meeting or discussion space
- Pre- and post-trip activities
Availability and arrangements depend on the destination, venue and travel supplier.
Could Travel Help Support Your Organization?
For qualified nonprofit organizations, certain group travel programs may provide an opportunity to combine travel with fundraising.
We can discuss your organization's goals and explore whether an appropriate travel program may be available for your group.
This can give members, families, friends and supporters an enjoyable reason to travel together while potentially helping support an organization they care about.
Eligibility, fundraising opportunities, amounts, group requirements and availability vary by supplier, program and trip.
Start With a Conversation About Your Group
You do not need to have the destination or every detail figured out. Tell us about the organization first.
Tell Us Who You Are
What type of club or organization is it, and who are the members?
Tell Us What You Need
Meetings, worship, excursions, accessibility, fundraising or something unique to your group?
We Explore the Possibilities
We look at destinations, suppliers and travel options that may fit your group's priorities.
We Build It Together
Once the right direction is identified, we help turn the idea into an organized group experience.
