Group travel can come in many shapes and sizes but these types of trips and vacations all have some great benefits in common:
1. The group organizer can travel for free! Most tour operators will give one free trip for every 10 participants. The number of participants needed for a free ride depends but one free per 10 participants is pretty common in the industry.
2. Unique groups offer a new and fun way to travel. There are tons of travel clubs and organizations out there. They all have their own twist and offer great vacations that often cannot be found elsewhere. There are travel clubs for singles, couples, families, bird watchers, photography, adventure, cycling and so many more. Traveling with a group who share the same interests makes for a great trip.
3. No one to travel with? Save money by pairing up with another group member. Many travel clubs and group trips will pair the participants up as a way to save tons of money. Some single supplement rates cost twice as much so by sharing accommodations on a group trip you can save thousands of dollars.
4. No need to spend hours on the computer and read travel books to research the trip. Group trips are put together by the organizers and thus all participants have to do is sign up and go.
Tip: Look for groups where the organizer and trip planner is going on the trip. This is important because the trip will be better planned since the leader has the most incentive to make sure the group and him/herself is happy while abroad.
