SCHOLARSHIPSFUNDRAISING PAGES
Dear traveler,
Explorica operates thousands of trips every year, but we never lose sight of
the fact that each tour we produce is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for
your students. We know that most students only take one educational tour,
so we have to do whatever it takes to ensure an incredible experience.
And yet, the average tour is just a few days long. All the exciting new
experiences and the memories that last a lifetime happen in the blink
of an eye.
By comparison, the average tour life cycle for a group leader—from the
first phone call through your safe return home—is almost a year.
So while delivering an excellent tour is required, we know that educational
travel is much more than that. We know it’s the way we treat you before,
during and after your trip. We know it’s listening to you when you have a
special request, and being flexible with our itineraries, payment plans and
anything else you might need some help with. We know it’s always doing
what’s best for you, despite what the fine print might say. We know it’s
pre-empting problems and providing solutions before you ever knew there
was a problem. And based on your evaluations, it looks like you agree:
When asked to assess all aspects of the Explorica experience, considering
everything from the initial planning stages through the tour itself, our
group leaders gave us a glowing 97% satisfaction rating.
We thank you for the commendation, and we are honored to have
earned your trust.
For students, educational travel is a great trip. For leaders, it’s a
relationship. And at Explorica, we simply try harder than anyone
else to guarantee that it’s a great one.
Your partner in travel,
Matt WertzCEO, Explorica
