How can tour operators help in educational excursions?

Educational excursions are part of every school's curriculum. Schools take students on tour to different places. Most of the times these are educational tours and sometimes these are fun outings. As part of educational tours, students are taken to different places which are historically rich and also provide knowledge to the students.


To organise the tour in a proper manner, schools contact tour operators. Tour operators have the responsibility of the tour-right from the beginning to the end, booking travel tickets, booking accommodation, arranging food for all the students, teachers and other school staffs. For these the tour operators must know the places pretty well. Without proper knowledge of places and transportation mode, it will be really difficult to manage so many people. The tour operator will also have to arrange for transportation for sightseeing. In some case tour operators have their own buses and vehicles. There are several tour operators in Kolkata who conduct educational as well fun outings for students on behalf of schools. After deciding the venue according to the budget, accommodation, sightseeing and other plans are discussed between the school authority and the operator. For the fun outings, schools often take suggestion from the operators while choosing for venue. Fun outings are generally for a single day. On the other hand, educational tours are for more days. A good tour operator plans and executes the travel plan in a perfect and professional way. The school should be extra careful if it is choosing an operator for the first time. Internet reviews and taking feedback from others, who have already hired the operator earlier, are good methods of choosing a tour operator.
