An active holiday as a group tour offers you the unique opportunity to explore the world in a sporty way while also forming new friendships. But what exactly is behind this concept, and why is it becoming increasingly popular? Let's dive in together to discover how you can plan your next unforgettable adventure.
What is an active holiday in a group?
An active holiday in a group is more than just a trip. It is a combination of sporting activities, intense nature experiences, and positive group dynamics. Unlike traditional package holidays, which are often focused on relaxation in one place, or individual trips that require a lot of self-organisation, a group active holiday offers a balanced mix of adventure and comfort. At GoTuro, we specialise in tailor-made experiences that are both challenging and connecting.
Why group active holidays are becoming more popular
The popularity of group active holidays is steadily rising. This is partly due to the growing desire for community experiences and making new friends. Many travellers also appreciate the safety aspects and professional organisation that such trips offer. Another advantage is the variety of activities and destinations available, allowing you to tailor the holiday to your personal preferences. At GoTuro, you will find a wide range of options, from leisurely hikes to adventurous husky sledding tours.
Understanding active vacationers: How to find your ideal travel group
To find the perfect active holiday as a group tour, it's important to know the different target groups and their specific needs. Choosing the right group can significantly contribute to the success of your travel experience. We help you find the right travel companions who share your interests and activity level.
Segmentation of Active Holidaymakers
Active holidaymakers can broadly be divided into different segments. An important criterion is the activity level: Are you more of a hiking beginner or an experienced peak climber? Do you prefer leisurely cycling or challenging mountain bike tours? Interests also play a role: Are you mainly interested in nature experiences or do you also want to discover cultural highlights? Last but not least, age and lifestyle are important factors when choosing the right travel group. At Wikinger Reisen (https://www.wikinger-reisen.de/gruppenreisen.php), travel groups are segmented by age (30s to 60s) to ensure a homogeneous group.
Needs and Expectations of Target Groups
The needs and expectations of different target groups can vary greatly. Some place great emphasis on safety and professional support, while others prefer flexibility and customisation. The topic of sustainability and social responsibility is also becoming increasingly important for many. When planning your active holiday as a group tour, you should carefully consider which aspects are particularly important to you. At GoTuro, we take all these factors into account to offer you a bespoke travel experience that meets your individual needs.
Hiking, cycling, adventure: Discover the variety of active travel
