What would your dream class trip look like?
When you envision your class trip, is it just so-so or absolutely amazing? Find out in seven short questions.
Question 1/7
You’re leading another class trip! When promoting your tour, you are:
On my own…as usual
Provided with the same flyers and business-as-usual support as in years past
Able to easily reach families where they are thanks to modern tools and technology
Question 2/7
You see how much the trip is going to cost each of your students. What’s your first thought?
This trip is exactly the same, but the price is much more than when I first started
Seems pretty reasonable
Wow, every single year more value and innovation is packed into the same great price
Question 3/7
A question comes up before your trip. (They always do.) When you need an answer, your tour provider is…
Mostly MIA, tbh
Always available and gets me everything I need (I just need to ask first)
So on top of things, they call me to talk about stuff I haven’t even thought of
Question 4/7
If you had to describe the flexibility of your itinerary, you’d say…
It’s the same, one-size-fits-all plan everyone gets
There’s a little room for customization. But emphasis on little.
The details are carefully crafted to meet the unique needs of me and my students
Question 5/7
When it comes to showing your students around your destination…
I’m the tour guide, navigator, concierge, and single-file-line wrangler
I have help provided, but it’s someone new at every stop along the way
My guide is part of my group 24/7 and handles all the logistics so I don’t have to
Question 6/7
It’s the moment you do this all for: you’re out of the classroom and exploring the world. And it feels like…
Something could make things better, just can’t put my finger on it
Everyone’s happy to be out of the classroom and seeing these monuments and museums up close
Behind-the-scenes access from exclusive partners has excitement at an all-time high
Question 7/7
Sometimes the unexpected happens. If something doesn’t go according to plan, you feel like…
I need to be prepared to solve any problem myself
Everything will be taken care of and we’ll be back on track soon enough
Thanks to quick-thinking from my tour provider, lemons will become lemonade, a great day, and better story
