Group Travel
According to an old African proverb,
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Traveling in a group tends to get an unfortunate reputation, but as this insightful adage suggests, doing things in a group can often lead to amazing results! Though more travelers equal more opinions and preferences, recruiting the right people and carefully planning a balanced group trip is simple when you partner up with Millennial Destinations. Here are a few of the top reasons to consider taking part in a Speculative or Affinity Group, as a Millennial Destinations Group Leader.
-
Speculative Group (for Social & Leisure)
-
Affinity Group (for Clubs, Organizations, and Memberships)
Bond with Your Fellow Travelers
Humans are naturally social creatures who love making connections with others. Traveling in a group is one of the best ways to cement a bond through shared experiences and adventures that those outside of the group may not be able to relate to. When you form memories to last a lifetime while visiting a new or beloved destination, you also develop a bond with your group that will help to create a family-like atmosphere. Any minor adjustments needed to ensure everyone’s comfort are more than worth it for the enjoyment that comes from traveling with friends, family members, or organization peers.
Here are a few of the different types of groups we service:
-
Family and Friends
-
Reunions
-
Multigenerational Travel
-
Milestone Celebrations
-
Destination Weddings / Vow Renewals
-
Speculative Group Travel (for Social & Leisure)
-
Affinity Travel (for clubs, organizations, and memberships)
-
Joint Ventures (for businesses)
-
Company and Sales Meetings / Meeting At Sea
-
Fundraising Groups

Incentive Travel
Great Pricing Options
Traveling in a large group can really pay off thanks to special group rates that are often offered by accommodation providers and other travel vendors. With 20+ people in your land package or 16+ people in your cruise package, you’ll all see significant savings. Furthermore, group rates aren’t always limited to hotels or cruise lines; meals and add-on excursions may also be cheaper when booked as a large group.
Special Amenities
Because more people often means more money being spent, tour operators are known for offering incentives that go beyond pricing. Your group may be able to take advantage of things like themed events, cocktail parties, or even custom activities.
Group Travel Tips
No matter where you choose to go or what group theme you settle on, staying organized and on top of all of the trip details is essential. That’s why it’s essential to work with an experienced travel professional who knows how to facilitate large group travel. We frequently work with travel suppliers and vendors, so we know how to easily navigate the industry to find the highest quality experiences that fit your expectations. We also know how and when to negotiate for the best prices and trip options available.
It’s never too early to start planning for a group trip. With so many logistical components to organize, preferences to sift through, and budgetary elements to lock in, planning group travel far in advance is important. At Millennial Destinations, we are well-versed in all aspects of group travel planning, from collecting payments and booking flights and accommodations to making special requests for traveler food allergies and finding special group excursions.
We’re standing by to assist you with planning a trip that will satisfy all members of your group!

Benefits of Group Travel with
Millennial Destinations
-
A Collaborative Process – Planning your group travel experience begins with a one-on-one consultation, where we spend time getting to know each other. During this part of the process, you’ll take me through the vision you have in mind for the trip, as well as the travel preferences for the group, and we’ll collaborate back and forth until we have the perfect itinerary.
-
A Customized Trip – There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to group travel. With so many different travel styles and preferences, I know how important it is to have a travel plan that is custom-made specifically for your group.
-
The Chance to Make a Profit – Though you can’t put a price on the memories made during an epic trip, I can offer the opportunity to earn travel credits and income on the side for recruiting and leading group trips. You’ll not only be able to enjoy a fun travel experience but if enough group members travel along, you can earn free trips altogether. You can consider adding a per person fee to cover your trip expenses as well.
-
Detailed Logistics – Arranging the logistics for a large group of travelers can be a daunting process, but you can rest easy knowing that the entire group’s flight arrangements, hotel accommodations, dining reservations, and activity tickets have all been taken care of and confirmed in advance. I’ll also make sure you have all of the documents you need to ensure the safe and fast transition from place to place.
-
Arrangements for Before and After Your Trip – Outside of the main trip, I’m available to handle pre and post-trip arrangements to get your guests where they need to be. From booking flights to scheduling hotel stays or downtime activities, I can arrange the services needed to ensure a seamless travel experience from start to finish.
-
Post-Trip Follow Up – After your guests return home, you may want to follow up to find out more about their travel experience. I can help design the custom follow-up survey that’s perfect for your organization.
-
Cost-Effective – My planning fee is affordable and customized to each group and can be included as part of the total trip price. Ambassador Program costs may also be included in the price of the trip, and in some cases, the trip leader may receive complimentary travel protection.
-
Peace of Mind – Millennial Destinations has partnered with Travel Insured International to bring you special travel protection plans that reflect your travel needs. This well-known insurance provider has been in the business for over 20 years and offers benefits like trip cancellation, medical emergency, evacuation services, and more. You can keep your trip investment, your belongings, and your group protected by taking advantage of this investment.
