Basic "Mechanics" of a Study Tour

1. Work with a reputable travel company and agent.
2. Decide on a maneuverable number of tour members. [We find twenty students and two sponsors ideal.]
3. Consider spring tours. They encounter fewer other tourists in most places.
4. Assign each participant, including the instructors, a number. "Counting off" is a good way to occasionally
see that everyone is present.
5. Make one person responsible for all the tickets at airport counters to expedite processing.
6. Purchase all museum or other tickets at the same time to obtain group or student rates.
7. Require participants to carry the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the hotels with them at all
times, along with money for public transportation should they get lost.
8. Don’t plan too much for a two-week tour. [We find one or two major cities and side trips to be more than —
enough. ] Lem Tee 6.
9. Suggest that tour members travel with older luggage, if possible.
10. Consider marking all the group’s luggage in a distinctive way in order to avoid loss.
11. Itinéraries should be sent to family or guardians prior to departure, in case of an emergency.
12. Fly out of a major city, if possible, to obtain better rates.
13. Suggest money belts for securing money, passports, etc. [We require them.]
14, Be sure students take appropriate attire for the planned events, as well as walking shoes.
15. Participants should carry nutritional food bars or an equivalent with them each day as schedules and meals
are often irregular while traveling.
16. Consider allowing students a "free day" during the tour. [We require each student to inform us of his/her
destination and encourage groups of two or three to travel together.]
17. Be emphatic about illegal drug usage abroad! Make sure everyone is aware that any possession of drugs can
jeopardize the entire group.
18. Don’t promise to see any specific sights. Many places are temporarily closed due to restorations, strikes, or
holidays. [We say: "Every attempt will be made to see... ."]
19. Make regular passport checks to assure the safety of students and instructors.
