Educational Trips With Cheap Student Travel Packages

March 7th, 2010

These days a lot of students are undertaking trips to various places around the world, in order to explore it and gain knowledge, while some also do it as a part of some research that they want to do, so that they can add some extra bit to their given projects and assignments. Most schools and universities as well, plan group educational trips to various places in order to make students aware and informed. Keeping in view, this trend, a lot of travel agencies have started offering student travel discount, which enables cheap student travel.

Basically Cheap Student Travel is a part of a whole cheap travel package, wherein the students can plan their trip according their budget. Such packages include many facilities such as that of cheaper accommodation, cheap travel ticket, lesser expenditure on travel etc. Thus, students get a lot of help, and can pursue their academic interests comfortably. Cheap student travel also encourages inter – country or global flow of students so that international students too can enroll in the desired university of their choice. A cheap travel ticket itself cuts down on a major portion of the expenditure; leave aside the cheaper accommodation and other facilities.

Most travel agencies regularly post on their websites about Cheap Airlines Tickets, and then they also publicize through newspapers, magazines etc about their cheap travel package. Besides, many airlines themselves offer student travel discount. However, one needs to keep a regular check on such things, as most offers are valid for a very short period of time.

Besides, most travel agencies and other tour planning companies may offer cheap student travel for only university students, or for only school students. So, you need to find out about these specifications well in advance, so that you don’t rely on these cheap student travel packages till the last minute, only to find out that the package is not available to your students, or the validity period of the package offer has expired.

Another thing that needs to be taken care of is the season or the time of the year that one is traveling in. Most of the times, better discounts and packages are available during the off – season, so it is always more economical to plan trips at that point of time. During the summer vacation, the offers are not so attractive and beneficial and may not be of much use.

Is it possible to travel by bus from Hanoi to Laos? How is the border crossing?

March 7th, 2010

I am planning to visit Hanoi again, and I am considering going to Laos. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? If so, is a bus travel possible? How much and how long will the travel take? Thanks.

Yes it is possible as I did it a few years ago. Prices will have changed by then but they run over night and the border crossing is fine but pretty filthy (actually the worst toilet I have ever seen in my ten years of backpacking, it was 10cm deep in excrement =)

Free Travel: How to Get "all Expenses Paid" Vacations

March 7th, 2010

You can travel the world for free by becoming an “Outside Agent” or “Group Travel Organizer” for travel agencies.

Travel agencies usually have a wide range of domestic and international tour packages available. These tours typically last from ten to fourteen days, with groups of about ten to thirty people for each tour. Travel agencies constantly need people to sign up for their tours and most heartily welcome any help they can get in recruiting new tourists for their services. When you put a travel group together for the agency you can receive a free (all expenses paid!) vacation.

You can visit travel agencies directly, or locate them through internet searches. Contract with them for a free trip in exchange for you securing a group of people to sign up for a tour with the agency. For example, for a cruise, you’ll need maybe 9 to 15 people to sign up with the agency for you to travel for free. Make sure you find out exactly how many people you need to sign up for the tour so you can travel for free. Also ask if the tour will cover your airfare or not, and get all details related to the tour. Dates, times, schedules, costs, food, accommodations, transportation, sight-seeing, etc. Ask the travel agent if he or she can supply you with brochures or flyers, with your name, phone number and email address, to hand out to potential sign-ups.

When putting a group together talk to friends, relatives and co-workers. Visit churches and organizations with your travel proposal. Post and handout your flyers to everyone you can. Send emails to everyone you know, and ask them to forward the message. Let all of the friends you have in social sites like FaceBook.com know about the trip. You may even consider placing small classified ads in newspapers for more leads. Write an article about the tour’s destination and offer it for free to newspapers, magazines, blogs and websites as long as they include your contact information.

Giving travel presentations is another great way to get people to sign up for the tour. Your church, retirement organizations, Veterans groups, Kiwis, American Legion and Rotary Club are all good places to give your presentation. Provide refreshments and have plenty of flyers on hand. Your home is another place where you could hold presentations. Invite family and friends, and ask them to invite their family and friends. You can speak about the tour, show a video, or have a travel agent that represents the agency give the presentation.

Once your group is organized collect deposits from each member as required from the agency. This ensures that the people are serious about going. Most deposits are refundable up to a certain date as prescribed by the agency, so little or no risk is involved for your group in paying deposits. Then make sure that each group member gets their travel vouchers and know the departure date, time and location.

You go with the tour group for free, and when you get back home you can do this all over again to have another all expenses paid vacation. Do this as often as you like to go anywhere in the world for free.
