Discover the Advantages of Student Travel at the NJ School Board Workshop 2023

Many attendees are curious about why certain group travel companies are participating in this magnificent event. This year, more than ever, the theme of the NJ School Boards Workshop, "Today's Students ... Tomorrow's Superheroes," highlights the growing importance of educational travel experiences in empowering students.

Here are the top benefits to take advantage of during your workshop attendance. When you partner with a group travel company like Zoni Tours, you gain valuable experience and a streamlined process to overcome any challenges your organization may face. In essence, they handle the entire creation and organization of your educational tour.

1. Expect More, Pay Less:

• Educational travel has long been seen as an expensive endeavor, making it challenging for many schools to consider. Factors like tight budgets, difficulty securing grants, and the income level of the student population all play a role. However, forward-thinking group travel operators have devised strategies to make educational travel accessible to a wider range of school districts. They offer various budget-friendly options and destinations, providing opportunities that were once considered impossible.
• When you make reservations in high volume, you'll benefit from discounted group rates on flights, meals, hotels, and entrance fees to world-renowned attractions. These new options ensure you get the guaranteed lowest prices that fit your budget.

2. Don't get Bogged Down on the Specifics:

• Have you ever contemplated the intricacies of planning travel for a group of 70 people, securing group reservations at a restaurant in the heart of Washington DC, or managing the finances for your entire class? Fortunately, you no longer need to worry about these tasks.
• Group travel companies have dedicated teams to handle every aspect of your reservations and the planning and execution of your educational travel. They often provide Tour Directors to oversee every on-tour detail. Additionally, these companies offer billing and payment tools that simplify trip planning, eliminating the need to track who owes what, as each traveler manages their individual account.

3. Embark on Your Educational Travel with Assurance:

• The top priority of these group travel operators is your safety. They take extensive measures to ensure it, conducting thorough safety assessments of all their hotel and transportation partners and offering immediate on-tour support, along with a 24/7 emergency hotline. When planning your educational travel, safety, security, and connectivity are crucial topics to discuss and agree upon.

4. Choose Your Partners Wisely:

• While memberships can sometimes be misleading indicators of quality, it's essential to be cautious. Many group travel companies have faced lawsuits due to failing to deliver on their promises. Your educational tour investment is of great concern, so ensure that all paperwork is properly done and document every conversation. If it's not in writing, consider it unsaid.
• Additionally, secure Travel Protection Plans through a reputable insurance provider, offering the most comprehensive coverage in the industry. What sets these plans apart is their cancellation policies, allowing you to recover a substantial portion of your tour fees, sometimes even a full refund, in cases of unfortunate or unexpected events typically not covered by standard travel protection plans.

5. Round-the-Clock Assistance:

• From the moment your school decides to organize an educational trip until you return home from your transformative journey, these companies will be by your side to ensure a smooth process. They maintain a dedicated customer care team to answer all questions from parents, students, and even concerned grandparents.

In conclusion, don't miss the opportunity to visit the expert exhibitors in group travel at NJSBA's Workshop 2023, taking place from October 23rd to October 26th. You'll see that your educational travel dreams can become a reality!
