Earn Your Own Vacation with Groups at Ixtapan Hotel Spa and Golf Resort

Earn Your Own Vacations…Tips To Be a Group Tour Organizer! Without a Headache
1. Get guidelines from your resort, #’s needed, deadlines etc.
2. Have a 9 month timeline: with monthly goals and a matching message to reach each goal.
3. Create an email and hard copy invitation, with a soft sell or catchy tip.
4. Tell friends why not just where they should go: compatibility, savings, meals together, room shares, specials you arranged, that you are responsible. Where is a geography lesson . Why is a sale .
5. Collect emails and phone numbers. Ask for friends of friends. Do not count out those who still use the telephone! Try a Tupperware approach in your home.
6. Create structure: early birds, deadlines, room shares for solos, deposits and cancellation costs.
7. Create a list of FAQ; expect this list to grow as you learn.
8. Keep track of the undecided, call them, use a personal touch using the first person.
9. Invite people to contribute a photography or bridge lesson, knitting or painting class, a book review or garden walk, a Spanish lesson.
10. Publicize these new additional ‘events’ in your emails.
11. Email or call at minimum once a month.
12. Organize a chat room orientation.
13. Encourage questions with “No Question is too Dumb”
14. Mantras: Answer every question as if your participant is five years old. AND On the trip: Everyone gets a day to whine, no one gets 2 days.
