Sales Staff of Music Educators and Advocates who’ve ‘Been There!’
Each Account Executive has insight into the many needs and demands of travelling Music groups, special resonance with boosters and administrators, and full understanding of what pleases Directors and students.
Experienced Tour Escort throughout each tour
Knowing you have an experienced Tour Escort, with you all the way, gives peace of mind beyond measure. Many firms use only Meet & Greet people who say ‘hello’ once and then disappear.
Carefully screened vendors/suppliers for every element of your inclusive tour package.
MTC selects its vendors based on strict adherence to MTC’s standards for safety, reputation, fiscal stability, quality and service to student groups. For example, MTC’s hotels have better quality and locations than others.
References of ALL clients provided to you on request to check out MTC
Many companies provide only a “hand picked” list of references. MTC gives you everyone, or all in band or choir, etc. For important decisions, you deserve all the information.
Ability to book Air and Rail reservations as well as to issue tickets directly.
Through its parent, MTC is one of few student travel firms able to deal directly with the airlines and issue tickets. This cuts out the ‘middleman’ most travel firms must work with to get air and train transportation.
Dedicated operations staff of student travel specialists
MTC’s operations team does nothing but student group travel and is proud to have more than 65 years combined experience. Some firms have travel folks with other jobs do group travel in their spare time.
Manager on Duty 24/7 empowered to assist and help in a true emergency
Having someone who parents and student travelers may contact in a true emergency is an ‘essential’ that every traveling group should ask of its travel company.
Fair, Open, Truly Inclusive, Accurate Pricing
Might hidden costs await you at the last minute? Taxes, meal costs, facility or equipment rentals, tips, etc. ? Absolutely not is the right answer. With Music Travel, the price quoted is the price to be paid, period!
