Being in charge of the group vacation can be overwhelming, and sometimes you don’t even know where to begin. Sound familiar? If so, these 8 tips will help you get started! 

  1. Get a headcount. Knowing how many adults and kids are coming is great for two reasons: it helps you plan appropriate activities, and it lets you know what you need to reserve in terms of accommodations. 
  1. Budget. If you don’t want to dread that moment of checking your back account after coming home from vacation, stick to a budget. 
  1. Location. Rent a space that has room for everybody, especially if you’ve got a mix of adults and children. Reserving a place that has game/play/video-watching areas for the kids, and couch/gathering/talking spaces for the adults makes all the difference!
  1. Allergies. Unless anyone with food allergies is going to take care of their own meals, you need to know what to plan for so that everyone can eat what’s on the menu.
  1. Meal planning. Share the load by divvying out meals so that everyone purchases and prepares food. This way one person doesn’t get stuck doing all the work, there’s a variety of meals, and everyone helps out.
  1. Activities. If you want everyone to have fun, plan activities that appeal to each age group. Send out a survey beforehand to find out what the kids and adults like, and then try to plan activities that will be fun for everyone. 
  1. Transportation. Have you ever thought of chartering a coach so you can travel altogether? That’s what we specialize in! If you’d like to book a group charter, we are here to serve you! 
  1. Find out what’s stocked at your vacation rental. Have you ever arrived at a vacation house and realized they don’t have salt and pepper, trash bags, or dishwasher soap? Get a list of the supplies they keep on hand so you’ll know what else you need to bring to cover your bases.
