Why Travel is Essential

If you're thinking about planning a group trip, you probably already have an idea of the positive impact a travel experience can have on your students and youth. But just in case you need some help convincing others, here are some of the reasons that travel is essential as part of a complete education: 

• Travel brings the classroom curriculum alive, inspiring students to learn through first-hand, interactive experiences.
• Travel motivates students to achieve and improves academic performance.
• Travel teaches understanding of other people, communities and cultures.
• Travel offers educational opportunities for a shrinking globe.
• Travel helps young people gain self-confidence, a sense of independence, and a feeling that they can make a difference in the world.
• A group travel experience is one your participants will remember for the rest of their lives.
