Group Travel Frequently Asked Questions 

Your only responsibility is to gather your group of interested travelers for your designated departure. We handle everything else—reservations, customer service, and all needs while on tour. 

For Guided vacations, group compensation is earned with at least 9 paying guests. For an exclusive group departure, a minimum group size of 17 people is required. To reserve a private boat, you would need to fill all the cabins on the ship 

Simply gather a group of 10 travelers plus yourself on any guided Country Walkers trip and as the 11th guest of the group you will qualify for our free trip reimbursement. 

For Guided vacations, the Group Organizer discount is calculated based on the Tour Only package price. It does not include air package costs, single supplements, Travel Protection Plan, air upgrades, cabin upgrades, business class upgrades. Please note: The Group discount cannot be combined with the Refer-a-Friend Program, Promotional Discounts, or Web Specials.

Yes. In fact we recommend they do just that! Your Group Tour Manager will provide you with a Group Number after you have selected a tour and departure date. Your group member should call our Tour Consultants to make their reservation.  

They will need to put down a deposit of $500 per person by check over the phone or credit card.  

If your group is flying out of the same city, we make every effort to reserve seats on the same flight if seat availability allows. 

Travel advisor groups are not combinable with our direct Group Travel Program benefits.  Travel Advisors discounts are not available on direct Group Reservations and will not be considered part of the total group count for the purpose of rebates.

Helpful hints

Below are some helpful hints from our successful group organizers. There are many ways to spread the word about your trip—here are a few that have worked well. 

Host an Informational Group Meeting 

Share details of your upcoming trip with interested travelers at a casual gathering or cocktail party with a travel theme. We can help! 

We can provide Trip Materials and information to hand out to your travelers.  

Mail a Catalog or Trip Itinerary 

Excite and encourage travelers to join your group with a personal letter and trip information. We will provide you with a catalog or other trip summary, depending on the size of your group. 

Keep in Touch 

Whether you pick up the phone, write a letter, or email, you need to create enthusiasm, and keep them abreast of your plans. Create a file and keep track of your contacts. Whether it is monthly or whatever frequency you are comfortable with, keep in touch. 

Create a List 

It could be from the clubs you have a membership in, your community or your health club, but create a large list to start to reach the widest audience. It is important to ask for addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.
