Benefits of Hosting
Travel can be enlivening, life changing, and eye opening through exposure to new perspectives, people, and cultures, both for a group as a whole, and for the individual fellow travelers that form a group. How can group travel benefit the organization you serve?
While all our journeys are purposeful journeys, different types of journeys fulfill very different needs of the organizations and institutions we serve. We fully acknowledge both the obvious and more nuanced needs and aspirations of the organizations we serve. Despite wide variances in the unique approaches, vocabulary, goals, and needs of the organizations we serve, there are benefits common to hosting an excellent group travel experience.
While all non-profit organizations and churches rely on the generous support of those who care deeply about the mission of an institution, the language and vocabulary as well as the perspective and approach of non-profit organizations and churches are very different. A university, for example, might work with us on an Alumni Travel experience for alumni that will express a very different purpose than a professor hosted short-term study abroad Education Travel experience for students.
A congregation will speak of stewardship and offerings where a nonprofit organization might speak of giving and financial support as institutional advancement and development achieved through donor contributions. Institutions may use very different terms and necessarily approach the needs of people to give of their time, treasure, and talents quite differently than churches.
Please explore and consider some of the potential benefits of an excellent group travel experience summarized below from your perspective including the common benefits to hosting a group travel experience from your perspective, as applied using the language and vocabulary of the non-profit organization or congregation you serve. Once you have had opportunity to consider the potential benefits of a group travel experience to those you serve, we invite you to take our brief survey on hosting a purposeful journey.
