Planning a group holiday can be as fun as the trip itself—or it can feel like trying to herd cats! From coordinating schedules to managing budgets and keeping everyone happy, it’s no wonder group travel can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. But don’t worry! With the right tips and tricks, you can plan a trip that’s smooth, stress-free, and full of amazing memories.
Here’s how to make group holiday planning easy—and why letting Hashtag Travel Group handle the logistics is the ultimate game-changer.
1. Start Planning Early
The bigger the group, the more time you’ll need to get everything sorted. Start early to lock in the best deals on flights, accommodation, and activities. Popular destinations and large accommodations—like villas or group-friendly resorts—tend to book up quickly, especially in peak seasons.
Pro Tip:
Use online tools like shared calendars or group chats to find dates that work for everyone, and finalise them ASAP.
2. Assign a Group Leader (or Use a Travel Agency!)
Every group needs a designated organiser to keep things on track. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be you! Booking through Hashtag Travel Group takes the weight off your shoulders, as we’ll handle everything from finding the best deals to coordinating the finer details. That way, you can relax and just enjoy the trip.
3. Budget Wisely and Be Transparent
Money can be a tricky subject, but setting a clear budget early on avoids any awkwardness later. Agree on a realistic per-person amount for flights, accommodation, and activities, and ensure everyone sticks to it.
Pro Tip:
Opt for payment plans. Many travel agencies, including Hashtag Travel Group, offer flexible payment options to spread the cost over time.
4. Choose Accommodation That Works for Everyone
Group accommodation is all about balance. A private villa might give you more space and freedom, while a resort offers individual rooms and on-site amenities like pools and restaurants. Think about the group’s preferences: do you want to cook together or enjoy all-inclusive dining? Would a central city location or a quiet countryside retreat suit your vibe?
Pro Tip:
Let Hashtag Travel Group do the hard work of finding the perfect accommodation for your group size, preferences, and budget.
5. Plan Activities, but Leave Wiggle Room
While it’s tempting to pack every moment with activities, don’t forget to leave downtime for spontaneous adventures—or simply lounging by the pool. Agree on a few “must-dos” in advance and leave the rest flexible to keep everyone happy.
Group-Friendly Activities to Consider:
Boat tours, wine tastings, or cooking classes for laid-back fun.
Adventure activities like hiking, ziplining, or water sports for thrill-seekers.
Private guided tours for cultural destinations.
6. Book Group-Friendly Travel
Flights and transfers can be tricky to coordinate for a group. Booking everyone on the same flight—or arranging group transfers—makes the journey smoother. And don’t forget to check for group discounts!
Pro Tip:
Hashtag Travel Group specialises in organising group flights, transfers, and even private airport pick-ups, ensuring your trip starts without a hitch.
7. Create a Shared Itinerary
Once everything is booked, put together a simple, shared itinerary that everyone can access. Include travel times, accommodation details, and planned activities to keep everyone in the loop.
Pro Tip:
Use apps like Google Docs, TripIt, or WhatsApp to share itineraries and updates in real-time.
8. Pack Smart for the Group
Encourage everyone to pack light, especially if you’re sharing limited luggage space or travelling to a warm destination. It’s also worth having a few shared items to save space and money—like sunscreen, snacks, or a power strip for multiple chargers.
9. Be Flexible and Have Fun
Group trips rarely go 100% as planned—and that’s okay! The key to a great group holiday is to stay flexible, laugh off any hiccups, and enjoy the time together.
