Hassle-Free School Sports Tours
Organising a school sports tour is a demanding, but ultimately rewarding responsibility. School tours offer students the opportunity to expand their horizons, take a break from their academic careers, develop a taste for travel that will stay with them for life, not to mention competing against international teams or clubs. Although things like government travel regulations, insurance issues, logistical efforts and general pressures that come with organising a tour can be off-putting, they can easily be overcome. If you’re thinking a sports tour for your school or college, these guidelines will help to ensure that the planning process is as hassle-free as possible, leaving the organisers (as well as the students) free to have a wonderful time:
Stage 1: Preparation Many tours begin with a brainstorming session amongst the organisers to determine the desired dates, destination, budget, numbers, and accommodation and travel options. It’s well worth doing this before you contact a tour operator in order to be clear about your requirements and limitations. Sports tours are likely to take more organisation than other kinds of trip because they require an extremely detailed itinerary, so when it comes to selecting a tour operator you should always look for a specialist: for example, if you’re in the UK, Burleigh Sports run tailor made school sports tours throughout the world and they specialise in school and university groups.
Stage 2: Promotion There’s a big sales aspect involved with every tour: persuading parents, boards of governors and fellow organisers that the chosen tour is both worth the time and worth the money is the key part of promoting the trip, and this might need to be followed up with fundraising activities too. Once again, a specialist tour operator will be accustomed to promoting school tours, so they should offer full support as you generate interest and finalise your numbers.
Stage 3: Administration In some ways this is the most important aspect of pre-departure planning: it can include a whole range of tasks but the most crucial are usually checking that passports are legitimate, finalising insurance, ordering tour T-shits, collecting final payments. Sending out detailed itineraries and answering any last minute questions. Getting these details nailed down is the key to the tour running without any unnecessary hitches.
There’s no doubt that there are plenty of thing to organise in order to get your travel plans under way, but with early planning and the support of an expert tour operator, co-ordinating a tour can be an incredibly rewarding experience: school sports tours are an integral part of the academic experience and they provide memories that stay with students (and organisers) for life.
