Planning Your Tour

We want to go, so how do I plan a tour?

Like any discerning Coach or astute player, when the game's on the line, ABT makes sure we have the ball in the best hands.

Here at ABT, we're confident that you'll do the same.

We know an overseas (or interstate) tour is an important event and significant financial commitment for all involved. It is highly likely that this could be the first overseas trip for many in your group and for some, might be that once in a lifetime opportunity.

Would you buy a major household appliance without checking with a few suppliers or making your choice via a good referral?

What kind of project manager do you want to work with for your tour?

This is a serious decision for you and your friends and we here at ABT are only too happy to try and provide the right answers to these and other important questions.

Choosing your tour supplier

This is a major project and requires a capable project manager, one you can work and rely on for over a year.

Unfortunately some individuals or group leaders are so keen to get something happening that they commit to a supplier only to find out that their best interests were not the real focus. It is vital that you do your Due Diligence, check references and compare before you recruit your team mate. Like a turnover often stings with a score against your team, a poor choice is likely to prove costly both financially and enjoyment wise. Doing your homework now will prove invaluable in the long run.

Your tour is far different from a holiday on the beach with a few nights out. Aussie Basketball Travellers has extensive specialist experience in team travel and understands that it's our attention to detail which turns a decent tour into that Great Experience. One that will be remembered long after the scores are forgotten.

ABT will be pleased to supply a sample price guide and tour itinerary upon request and then quote when the timing is right. We can often pay a visit to your group, discuss tour options, answer your questions and pass on our years of tour experience to help improve your planning.

Choose your destination

There are many destinations to choose from. While your desired destination(s) might be the right area for you to tour, this might not always be the case. With your team(s) game enjoyment, overall tour expectations and budget in mind, ABT's accumulated experience will help you select a suitable area to tour.

Choose your tour dates:

Sounds simple but there are times you can't or shouldn't tour. There are also financial implications. Your dates can make or break your tour.

You'll be surprised at how many pieces there are to your tour success puzzle:

  • What clothes to take
  • When & how to process sanctioning papers
  • Who to fly with?
  • Special meals on airplanes
  • Who's going to / can drive any vehicles?
  • Do we need travel insurance?
  • Billets or hotels?
  • Where is the best shopping?
  • How many players should we take?
  • How many adults can come along?
  • What if someone gets injured?
  • What uniforms do we need?
  • Fundraising?
  • Etc..

Although you will have some responsibilities, ABT takes pride in continually striving to deliver tailored tours which exceed our clients' expectations.
