Dear Parent,
We are excited to be entering our 31st year in creating innovative and memorable trips for graduating students and we hope your daughter or son will join us this year. Graduation marks the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. Students deserve a memorable trip to mark the end of high school and celebrate this exciting accomplishment with their fellow graduates. Specialising in student travel, S-Trip! creates fun, innovative, well-organized and most importantly safe trips for graduating classes from all across Canada.
S-Trip! has worked very hard this year to create a unique trip for the graduating class that is sure to appeal to each and every student. Students want to get the most out of their grad trip and we encourage them to experience all their travel destination has to offer. Our travel packages give students the freedom to explore their destination’s exotic and cultural attractions: discover the past by visiting ancient pyramids and cities; take a trip to the nearby eco-park and swim with friendly dolphins or snorkel with schools of tropical fish; trek through the jungle and examine exotic flora and fauna on a guide-led nature walk; and browse local marketplaces to shop for crafts and sample authentic cuisine. In the evenings, students enjoy exclusive concerts and shows with grads from all across Canada.
S-Trip! is the student travel division of Handa Travel, a full-service travel agency operating since 1976 with 20 offices in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. A winner of the Consumer Choice Award for 10 consecutive years, Handa Travel is the people’s choice for travel. Over the years we have developed strong relationships with our partners including airlines, hotels, and tour operators, which enables us to pass along the lowest prices in student travel. We believe that every traveler, regardless of age, deserves quality customer service for the product they have purchased.
Given that student holidays are the most popular times of the year to travel, it is a challenge to book large groups of passengers. In order to accommodate the entire graduating class, S-Trip! starts the booking process early. Our travel suppliers offer us seats at special pricing for early bookings. By offering the lowest price possible, we hope all grads will take part in what is sure to be the trip of a lifetime. Booking early ensures a spot on the trip as well as savings off the price. In addition, booking early allows payments to be spaced out over the span of a year making it easier to budget and plan for the trip, especially for students who will be working part-time to fund it.
Student safety is important to us and we go to great lengths to ensure the trip is as safe as possible, allowing students to travel worry and hassle-free. Included in the price of each travel package is RBC Travel Insurance. During the trip all students are accompanied by well-trained staff including Canadian high school teachers at each destination to enhance the program and bring a level of comfort to parents. Our staff is closely involved during the planning process of the trip, they’ll greet students at the airport upon arrival, accompany them to their resort and attend all events and activities throughout the week. In case of an emergency our staff is nearby for students and parents at home to contact easily.
Our staff will hold a meeting with the students to provide them with more information about their grad trip. We will also be hosting information sessions in the evening to meet with parents personally and answer your questions. The organisers will have the time and location of the information session.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to having your son or daughter travel with us!
Sincerely,
Alexandre J. Handa
