Travelmation (No. 56 on Travel Weekly's Power List) has launched Educational Encounters, an initiative focused on school and youth groups.
The Fort Lauderdale-based host agency has created a team that plans and books trips for school group leaders.
In addition, Travelmation is offering its advisors access to training for student group travel. Advisors can also opt to work with the Educational Encounters team on trips, doing as much or as little as they want and sharing the end commission, Travelmation said.
"Travelmation is launching Educational Encounters so educators have one less thing on their plate," said Sara Russell, Travelmation's director of groups. "We recognize all the hard work that goes into planning school and youth group travel, and Travelmation is here to ease that burden."
Travelmation is a member of the Student Youth Travel Association.
