Group travel – which accommodation should it be?
Benefits of group travel
Group travel has many advantages. These start with the cost factor. Groups usually get much better conditions. The trip will be a lot cheaper than traveling alone. For example, you already save when you arrive, since you usually do not need your own vehicle.
In addition, you save on the total offer, since many travel providers grant discounts for a certain number of people. From a cultural point of view, a group trip is of course even more worthwhile, because museums usually also grant discounts here, which significantly relieve the holiday budget.
In addition, you are always in contact with other people. So if you are single or like to make contacts, you will certainly find enough opportunities on a group trip – as long as the chemistry is right. You are never alone and there is certainly no boredom. When it comes to accommodation, there are a number of options. If you are traveling in a group of strangers then staying in a hotel would be a sensible choice as everyone has their own room. If you are traveling with friends or acquaintances, then a group travel accommodation in a youth hostel or in a holiday home would be conceivable.
A group tour also has disadvantages
Group tours are not for everyone. For example, if you want to be alone and decide for yourself which trip or activity you want to do and when, you should think twice about whether a group trip is really the right thing for you. When traveling in a group, you are rarely alone. It doesn’t matter whether you’re on a trip or eating – you’re probably only in your room alone in the evening.
In addition, group trips are fully planned. The excursions are limited in time, so you don’t have that much time to look around more closely. At least not as much time as you would take when traveling alone. You have to be created for a group trip. So if you prefer to be on your own, want to plan your own activities and not depend on anyone, you should consider whether a group trip would really be the right thing to do.
