GROUP TRAVEL

The Gateway Express Group Travel Experts present a combined 63 years of experience.

LEISURE GROUPS: Sharing your travel experiences with friends enhances the experience exponentially. And very few small agencies have the expertise in this specialty as Gateway Express.

SPRING BREAKS. We are experts in Spring Break Groups having handled over 100 groups on Caribbean Cruises and to numerous tropical beach locations such as Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa, Jamaica, Grand Caymen and Aruba just to name a few! As stories circulate about incidents during spring breaks, it is vitally important to work with a specialist that knows the ropes. We know where to go and will advise you accordingly. Beyond the destination, we know which resorts or cruise lines maintain strict rules and assure a wholesome atmosphere - and those are the only ones we sell. Then, there is the question of who is going and what rooming arrangements are anticipated. Gateway Express insists upon family involvement and parental presence with all groups. In fact, we decline many group inquiries when we sense that the group will not be adequately chaperoned. Take a look at four of our 2008 Spring Break Trips... a 4-Star Playa del Carmen Beach Holiday, and a 5-Star Playa del Carmen Beach Holiday . Spring Break Cruisess are very popular! Take a look at our 2008 Cruise offerings. We have personally experienced all of these popular options and are ready to advise you on which suits your needs.

FAMILY REUNIONS. We have handled dozens of Family Reunion projects ranging from 52 family members spanning 3 generations including children and grandchildren to an adults only reunion group of 8. Smaller groups - retired parents taking their adult children and spouses - have enjoyed luxury cruises through the Mediterranean, Aegean and Adriatic seas. Other Family Reunion trips have involved Banff and Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies, a dude ranch in Wyoming, Hawaii, Alaska, St. Thomas, Ireland and Italy just to name a few. And cruises are very popular with reunion groups. Some cruise itineraries that we have arranged for family groups include Alaska, Bermuda, New England & Eastern Canada, Scandinavia and the Caribbean.

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS. Just to name a few past projects, we have escorted a Garden Club to Holland at Tulip Time, a Fine Glass & China Club to Waterford, Ireland, a Tennis Club to Wimbledon, a Theatre Group to New York, a Drama Club to Stratford-upon-Avon and London, and a Card Club to Monte Carlo. Whether you wish to have a Gateway Escort or just be "sent on your way" knowing that every detail has been checked and double-checked, you can't find a better resource than Gateway Express.

GOLF GROUPS. It's all golf all the time at our sister-company, Gateway Golf Vacations. Each year, we send several dozen groups ranging from a foursome to as many as 28 golfers to Florida, Arizona, Nevada and Southern California. Outside the continental U.S., we feature World Class trips to Hawaii, Los Cabos, Bermuda, Ireland and Scotland. We have access to such famed tracks as Pebble Beach and St. Andrews.

BUSINESS GROUPS: A key factor in motivating employees or key clients is a well-structured group trip. Whether your mission is to reward your top customers for their past business and to strengthen the bond for future business or to stimulate the imagination of your sales force, there is NO GREATER MOTIVATOR THAN LUXURIOUS GROUP TRIPS. Gateway Express has many years of experience in planning such trips as....

Dealer Trips. A dealer trip to Napa Valley for wine & spirits retailers was so successful, our client, a wine wholesaler, had us plan a trip to the Italian wine region of Tuscany. Another client treated their dealers to a Las Vegas trip. But, if that sounds "ordinary", this trip included a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, high-speed power boating on the Colorado River and a self-drive race car experience at the Las Vegas Speedway!

Sales Incentives. Some of our Incentive clients have been with us for the entire 22 years of our existence. If it's an 8-hour flight or less, we have had a group there! While Hawaii is the most repeated site for incentive trips, one of the most memorable projects was an incentive to Casablanca, Morocco for an insurance company. Whether you are looking for something comfortable or something exotic, we have the experience! Click here for more on our Incentive Services.

Whatever your project, Gateway Express has the expertise needed to assure a perfect experience.
