What Tour Safaris And Transfer covers

Tour Safaris And Transfer in Tour and Travel Operations Level 5 follows a safari from the first destination study to the emergency plan. You research destinations, covering target audiences, attractions, tourism seasonality, accessibility, culture and landscape, and obtain the tour permits a trip needs. Preparing the vehicle and equipment includes types of tour vehicle, basic maintenance, safety equipment, accessories, vehicle documents, safari equipment, packaging and food and refreshments. You secure accommodation by comparing facility types, hotels and rooms, then coordinate transfers, keep guests updated, apply tour safety measures such as risk assessment, guest briefings and weather checks, and develop an emergency response plan.
