TRAVEL PLANNING
CuriOdyssey Travel provides travel planning services to institutions, organizations, and private groups who want distinctive educational travel experiences for their constituents, members, alumni, and friends. Educational travel is an excellent tool to connect institutions with their audience, reinforce missions, and strengthen a community.
Organizations can offer trips without adding staff or significant costs. CuriOdyssey Travel can leverage extensive travel experience and connections in the educational travel/affinity market to help select, design, market, and successfully operate an international travel program. CuriOdyssey Travel specializes in custom itineraries, designed to reflect the strengths of each institution.
When done well, educational travel is more than just a sight-seeing tour: it is a carefully planned combination of tours, site visits, and hands-on learning opportunities, built around clear learning objectives. Meet with local community members and leaders, gain insiders’ access to lesser-known and private sites, organize lectures to showcase your areas of expertise. History, literature, natural history, art, architecture, religion, sustainability, archaeology… the possibilities for educational travel are nearly endless. Seize the power of differentiation and customize your trip; highlight what makes your institution or organization special. This is what CuriOdyssey Travel does best for you.
