Whether it’s for work or for pleasure, trying to deliver great travel experiences for groups while controlling costs can present unique challenges. It starts by identifying destinations with both wide appeal and great value and that requires the kind of specialized knowledge and access that’s usually reserved only for travel professionals. While the internet is teeming with travel sites that each guarantee the absolute lowest rates for the individual traveler, finding reliable, unbiased research that provides useful information about group travel destinations, and not a sales pitch, is hard. But they are out there.
