Safety.<\/p>\n
As a group leader, it\u2019s your number one concern, and we share it.\u00a0 We understand the responsibility you are assuming for the well-being of your students, and all the decisions made in the design of your trip are guided by that priority.\u00a0 Carefully selected hotels, dedicated hotel security guards, well-maintained motorcoaches: all contribute to the confidence you can have in our tours.<\/p>\n
One of the most critical aspects of your trip is the design of your itinerary.\u00a0 Once upon a time, tours left in the wee hours of the dawn and activities kept the group out until curfew.\u00a0 We still have clients who would ideally operate on that schedule.<\/p>\n
However, that schedule is not ideal for your motorcoach driver.\u00a0\u00a0 An experienced and safe driver is crucial to the success of your tours.\u00a0 Often, they\u2019re the \u2018unsung hero\u2019 of the trip, seemingly effortlessly transferring you from one exciting activity to another.<\/p>\n
Federal safety requirements, in conjunction with digital logs and other ways of monitoring driver activity, have resulted in a new approach to itinerary development.\u00a0 For example, fewer and fewer motorcoach operators are willing to schedule trips with overnight driving.\u00a0 Additionally, a driver\u2019s day is limited to 15 hours on duty, and they must have a minimum of 9 hours off overnight.\u00a0 These guidelines must be observed with care, for everyone\u2019s benefit.<\/p>\n
What does that mean for your tour?\u00a0 As we consult with you about your itinerary, we will advise you of any adjustments that need to be made for safety\u2019s sake.\u00a0 Depending on your priorities, you may choose to have us request a relief driver en route, providing for a longer travel day.\u00a0 Or a local transfer at your destination for an evening activity.\u00a0 While these provisions may add to the cost of your program, the peace of mind you\u2019ll have is priceless.<\/p>\n
