As a former admission counselor I have firsthand experience with the benefits of traveling to recruit prospective students. Having the ability to meet students on the road is priceless. Well, not exactly priceless, as there’s always a fee for travel and incidentals and often a very high cost to taking the show on the road. Determining the best recruitment travel plan is a fundamental part of the admission counselor’s responsibilities.
Admission counselors who are fortunate to travel internationally have many options available through various tour companies. Since travel is one of the key components of recruitment, selecting the right tour company is a critical decision. In determining which travel company is the best fit, admission counselors must consider their institutional needs and goals, travel budget, and fellow travelers. Word of mouth seems to be an essential means of researching tour companies. We hope that our chart will provide a convenient comparison between the major tour companies.

We created an open spreadsheet, which we will update as other providers submit their information. We look forward to hearing your feedback about your own experiences. Which of the companies have you worked with personally? What can you share about your international travel experiences? Please freely add comments.
