What is the general lead time required to organize a travel program?
This depends upon the complexity of your travel program. For instance, a basic coach tour can easily be arranged 3 to 4 months prior to the departure date provided that flights are available at the time of booking. Flights often fill up well in advance for periods of peak travel such as Easter week. We recommend you begin recruiting your students for basic travel programs at least 6 months prior to the departure date and at least 9 to 12 months prior to the departure date for travel programs requiring more specialized components such as performance venues, guest lectures and practical workshops.
