If you’re overseeing your school’s extracurricular travel programs, or directly involved in the planning and implementation of school-sponsored trips, undoubtedly you’ve been solicited by tour operators wanting to handle your business.

Generally speaking, the more complex the trip, the better off you are in working with a tour operator. One-day jaunt to the local theme park? This is something you can likely handle on your own. Seven-day visit to London and France? Best to trust a reliable student tour operator.
