Here's why you should start planning your school sports tour early.
We’re often asked what our number one tip for planning school sports tours is. Unfailingly our answer is to plan and book as early as possible. And there are some very simple but sensible reasons for this.
Get exactly what you want
In order to secure your preferred dates, transport, accommodation etc., it’s really important that you book early.
And you could even save money by doing so before demand drives the prices up.
Planning early should make it easier to arrange suitable fixtures too.
Make your tour more affordable for pupils
One criticism often levelled at school trips is that they’re expensive. And for non-academic subjects, such as sports and skiing, it can sometimes be a bit of a battle to convince parents of the benefits of a school sports tour.
But planning and booking early will give them longer to pay for the tour, making it more affordable.
This could even mean that some students who may not otherwise have been able to attend may be able to.
And if you’re planning to do some fundraising for your tour, planning early will mean you have more time for this too.
Make your life easier
