Group holidays, do you cringe when you hear the word
'group'?
Don't worry you're not alone; I still hear people say,
"oh, I could not stand that". But the more diverse these group
holiday options are becoming the more people are participating and embracing
them.
There's a variety of 'group holiday' experiences to be had.
It may be a small group journey - where you join a small group of up
to twelve guests to experience a destination. The more niche is the special
interest group getaway - where groups of whatever number will experience a
footy game, Gallipoli, trekking, a photograph or writing workshop just to
name a few. Then, there's the small 'like-minded' holidays, where
men or women gather with their friends to chill-out, share a laugh and whatever
takes their fancy - usually a cooking class or a game of golf. Yes, they
leave their loved-(family and pets)-one’s home.
Also, I question. Does then going on a cruise entail 'group
travel'? As you are amongst the masses of thousands, all living the same life
for the duration of time it takes to embark and disembark on the cruise.
'Generational-holidays' could also be group holiday, as I
have coordinated these Generational-holidays where the grandparents take their
children, spouse and grandchildren on a holiday...those number of guests soon
add up!
Travelling as group does definitely have its
merits. It allows you to travel in the safety and companionship of others. It
means your holiday arrangements will be pre-arranged and mostly pre-paid,
giving a smoother and more seamless journey. It takes the pondering
and decision making out of it, which can be a time waster when
on holidays. For sure, you still have to take the time to ponder and
decide, but is mostly done before you depart on your holiday. The pondering
and decision making would be on what destination you are going to go,
what is it you want to experience, what the cost you are prepared to pay
and so on.
So, for your next holiday you may just ponder...am I
travelling in the company of simply a friend or loved one or am I going to
cringe or embrace the thought of a 'group holiday'?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts....
