How Do You Decide Who Will Join Your Group Travel.

“Travel Is Better When Your Surrounded By Friends and Family.” - Josh Gauthier

Establishing the purpose of your group sets up the next natural step, who will join you on this adventure?  Not everyone will want to join your group adventure.  It may not be the right time for them or they're busy, take that into consideration.  ,Knowing who will be going allows you to select common interests and connections for your adventure it will take it to the next level.

For Family Trips Whom Will You Invite?

Will the trip be you, your kids and parents a traditional multi-generational adventure?  In today’s far flung world your parents may not get as much quality time with the grandkids as they would like.  Whether they’re busy still working or retired on the other side of the country.  Creating an opportunity for them to connect and engage with the grandkids, to spend that quality time.

Is it your cousins that you haven’t seen in awhile?  Did you grow up close then as you aged grew apart and now want to reconnect?  To rebuild those familiar connections?

Family reunions are great for group travel.  Bringing in all your relatives from far off places, some you may have met once and some you only heard about.  Being able to see them face to face in one setting creates amazing experiences.

For Friends Groups Whom Will You Invite?

Are you looking to elevate recent connections?  Have you made a new group of friends?  Do  you want to create the experience that bonds you together through shared experiences and memories?

Is it your college or high school friends, people you spent a great deal of time with over a short span of years?  As you entered the job market, moved across the country (or world) the distance has caused the connection to become less strong.

Group trips are a great way to rebuild those connections.  It allows you to block off time and reconnect

Group travel is a great way to build connection with new friends.  You can use the trip yo create shared experiences with everyone.  Take the time to get to know each other.  When you allow yourself the time to build relationships it’s amazing what happens.

For Hobby Or Organization Groups Who Will Go?

When it comes to hobbies, affinities and organizations there’s people you have to have on the trip, they're the linchpin of the group.  There's also those people that will add to the experience.  As you build your list of attendees, ensure you put them at the top of the list of invitees.

Who’s the natural group leader?  The one that will bring everyone together around shared experiences and activities?  Is there more than one person in  your group that fits the bill?  Can you put them in charge of herding the people to the right destinations at the right time?

Who are your experts?  Who knows more about the subject than anyone else?  Are they going to be teaching or leading a specific part of the tour?

Will you dedicate time to a specific activity?  Who’s will gather all the resources needed?  Who will  plan, schedule and coordinate everyone being there onetime in the right place?

Determining Who Is Going Acts As A Filter For Designing The Rest Of The Adventure.

Deciding on who’s  invited on the group travel is important.  It sets the tone and tempo for the adventure.  Not everyone that will be able to go and that’s okay.  Keep them in the loop of what's going on and they may be able to join the next adventure.

Building your list of people allows you to develop the best time to go by finding out everyone's availability.  It allows you to refine your choice of destination.  Not every location is perfect all year round.  Some destinations are best seen at certain times of the year.
