Excitement is high at the local high school as the principal announces the annual student group travel tour. Everyone is eager to go as this is said to be great fun. This year they are going to the international theme park as well as an ice show, visiting a movie set, scuba diving and travelling home by locomotive.

When arranging this, one has to take many things such as travel into consideration. In order to transport many students at one time, you have to book out entire busses and a large portion of the train. These bookings need to be made well in advance, if you are to find any success.
When making bookings for a volume of people many companies are willing to reduce their rates, especially when they hear that it is for a group of kids. The only glitch comes in that they want their fees paid in advance so as to guarantee the sale of the ticket. If you do not fill the space the company will still have received its money so they do not really mind who takes it or of its not taken at all.
The trip to the theme park will only be discounted if there are more than 20 kids entering and then they all have to be under the age of 15 years. For this they will accept payment on the day. Payment can be made in advance but there is no special price if you do this.
The tour to the movie set is a different story and there you have to book in advance. Once again you are able to get special rates if there are more than 20 people taking part in the tour. There will have to be more than 4 tour vehicles used so here you can save a bit of money.
The ice show insists that if there are more than 20 people you have to make a block booking to get a discount in price, but this does not include the front row tickets. You have to sit in the middle of the row. The company wants to be able to guarantee the seat has been booked and paid for in advance.
When booking the scuba diving course, they require you to pay upfront and then will only give you a discount for the kids younger than 14. This means that the majority of them have to pay in full. The company feels that some of the older kids will take more effort when training. A block booking is once again insisted upon.
