herding kittens

It has been said that leading a group tour is like herding kittens.

Think about it. They are all adorable. You worry about each and every one of them and you are trying to get them to go to a certain place.

As you try to herd them, some run off, some turn around to face you instead of going forward, some just stop for whatever reason.  You soon have chaos.  Adorable, lovable, frustrating chaos.

That's when you need to think of it from the other direction.  
Don't herd kittens.  
Lead them.

Get in from of them and wave something very tempting.  (In the case of real kittens, food works well.)

With group travel, lead your group to those awesome places, unforgettable experiences, and food works well here as well.

You are the group leader not the group herder.

​Own that title like a boss.

Perks of leadership

Remember playing follow the leader?  You wanted to be the leader.  Everyone followed you. They went and did what you wanted.

Then something happened. Too much responsibility.  Too much work. Life Happens.

But what if it was fun again and the world was your playground?

Being a group leader for group travel can be that way.  You take your group where you want to go.  Show them what you want to share.

By being a group leader, you are also entitled to awesome perks.  Like free travel.

Most companies offer group leaders free travel in exchange for gathering the group.   With DarlaTours the company then handles the booking details, payments and enrollments, and many other responsibilities.
