As Saint Augustine said, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
Travelling provides us with the opportunity to visit new places and try things we would have never done otherwise.
Although travelling by yourself or with a partner is amazing, there is something extra special about travelling in a group. Here are a few of the top reasons why you should consider vacationing with family and friends.
When you’re on vacation, the distractions of work and household responsibilities disappear. You’re able to fully immerse yourself in your vacation and have great conversations and experiences with your travel partners.
For weeks, months and even years after you return home, you’ll be able to reminisce about the incredible and unique moments you all experienced together.
Navigating an unfamiliar territory, a different language and new customs can sometimes make travelling scary.
Travelling in a group is much safer than travelling solo or with only one other person. The bigger the group, the more people who are available to notice unsafe situations arising. In fact, travelling in a pack can actually deter unsafe behaviour from occurring in the first place.
Group travel can be much more affordable than travelling solo. Divide the cost of accommodations, car rentals and excursions amongst the group and be able to afford better experiences than you would have on your own.
If something goes wrong on your holiday, you have people around you who can be trusted to look out for you. Stress levels can run high when you run into travel difficulties but having friends nearby can help keep you calm.
As a result, your relationships will get stronger and you will feel confident calling upon this support network if needed in the future.
An adventurous family member or friend may encourage you to take risks and try new experiences that you would have never done on your own. Maybe it’s a hot air balloon trip, a local cooking class or an ATV adventure. Whatever it is, these new experiences could end up being some of your favourite memories from your group vacation!
Who knows? The first time you travel in a group may be the start of many more holidays together in the future! Our travel agency organizes trips for all sorts of travellers, including group travellers. To learn more about booking a group vacation, contact our experienced team today.
