Plan Ahead for Success: Why Schools Should Book 2026 Tours with EducaTours of Australia Now

Pam Walsh • January 12, 2025

When it comes to school tours, forward planning isn't just a practical step—it's a strategic advantage!

At EducaTours of Australia, we understand the complexities of organizing educational trips, and that's why we’re encouraging schools to start planning and booking their 2026 tours now. Here are the key benefits of early planning that ensure an exceptional experience for educators, students, and parents alike.


1. Better Accommodation Options

Early bookings give schools the first pick of the accommodations and travel dates. Instead of settling for what’s left, you can select dates that work with your schools calendar and stay at preferred accommodation, ensuring comfort and convenience.


2. Preferred Venues and Times

Popular educational venues and attractions often fill up quickly, especially during peak school travel seasons. Planning ahead ensures your group gets access to preferred times, tailored activities, and more focused attention from tour facilitators.


3. Lower Costs

Flights typically increase as the departure date approaches, while accommodation may offer early-bird rates. Booking well in advance allows schools to lock in the best rates, freeing up budget resources or reducing costs.


4. Reduced Stress Down the Line

Getting the ball rolling now means you’ll have more time to fine-tune details later, allowing teachers and administrators to focus on their daily responsibilities. As the year progresses and schedules become hectic, you’ll appreciate having the bulk of the trip planning completed.


5. Peace of Mind for Parents

Parents are more likely to commit and feel confident in the tour when they see a well-organized, cost-effective plan in place early on. It also gives them more time to budget for the trip expenses.



6. Stronger Educational Value

With more time to prepare, teachers can align the trip itinerary with curriculum goals, ensuring a meaningful experience that complements classroom learning.
