Our 7-step method to planning your school trip:
We understand that planning high school travel programs can be an overwhelming task. That's why we've created a comprehensive 7-step method to make the process easier and more efficient.
Step 1 - Consultation Meeting
We will first meet to discuss your tour and gain an understanding of your vision and expectations for your trip. We will also review your budget and discuss any special requirements from you or your students that may need to be incorporated into the itinerary.
We will provide feedback and guidance on how best to accomplish your travel goals.
Step 2 - Proposal Development
Once all the information has been gathered, our travel professionals take the utmost care when crafting your itinerary, carefully mapping out every detail 12-18+ months in advance.
We provide all of the necessary information you need — airline schedules and routes, hotels and accommodations with space specifically blocked for your group, and restaurant recommendations tailored to fit any taste buds, all while breaking down each day so that no stone is left unturned!
Step 3 : Curriculum Alignment
Step 4 : Approval Process
We provide comprehensive guidance and support for teachers to get their trip approved by the principal, superintendent and/or risk officer. School administration approval can be a tedious task. Let us simplify your journey by providing all the necessary documentation and materials upfront to guarantee an exciting, safe, educational trip that meets risk and curriculum guidelines — without delays!
Step 5 : Sales Support
Let GHardy Tours make your tour launch and marketing a breeze! We provide beautiful digital brochures, host an information meeting for prospective students and their parents, designate a dedicated GHardy Tours client care team member to answer all parent questions prior to departure, manage insurance requests and all payments, deliver regular sales updates, and hold a pre-departure meeting to review all details with parents and students — we’ll have you covered from start to finish.
Step 6 : On-Tour Management
