1. Choose
a place.
If it’s in the Philippines you can never get enough of
beautiful places here. Try the most accessible places first.
2. Research
Read articles on the internet about the place so you
will not miss any attraction and activities that you can do for the trip.
3. Cut
the expense, Invite people
The more the merrier and truly way cheaper J it is really ideal for
organizing a trip since you have a great number of participants, more people
will split the expenses. You can always create an event in Facebook to have a
wide discussion for the trip.
4. Give
timeframe, choose a date
Once you already have the list of participants choose
a possible dates for the outing and make them vote which date is the most ideal
for all. Make sure that you will give them time to prepare financially, give
consideration for the pay day J
5. Call
and book.
This is the most challenging part, you really have to
exert effort to find a decent place to stay, but remember, you will not go to
that place to spend all of your time in the hotel, most of the time, you will
be out to enjoy the place, the only use of the hotel is for sleeping so don’t
look for the most expensive hotel, try to minimize the expenses. Consider the
proximity as well.
6. Get
the final list.
When you already found a decent place to stay that can
accommodate all of the tentative participants before depositing down payment
get the final list first and;
7. Collect
and secure
After getting the price of hotel and other
transportation such as van, boat, bus, and all other things that has fixed
price, sum it up and divide it equally, post it on the Facebook event you
created. And to secure the money give them options to deposit their share, you
can always give them a bank account number, remittance center or if possible they
can give it in cash. Make an agreement that it is non-refundable to eliminate
the stress that last minute back out people will give you. On this set up, once
they gave the money they will be more hesitant to back out.
8. Update
Always inform them about the reservation and any other
changes and issues that will occur after that, you are all good to go J
Have a happy trip J
