Commitment to Student Safety

Educating Adventures is dedicated to providing exciting, educational, and safe trips to schools and students around the world. The safety of every traveller is of great importance to us. We have systems and procedures in place, to ensure the safety of our teachers, students, and tour guides while on-tour, and before departure. It is essential that every individual has the resources, tools, and guidance they need to deal with any situation. Travel can be unpredictable, and there are often unforeseen circumstances. We want every parent, principal, teacher, and student to have confidence that every step is taken to prioritise their safety while away on their school trip. Over years of operation, we have developed a thorough risk assessment and incident management procedure. We offer 24-hour assistance while on tour and you can rest assured - your safety is our top priority.

Financial Security

Educating Adventures protects and has in place bonding and trust accounts to give our clients peace of mind with regards to financial security. Each year we undergo a series of financial reviews with the various associations we are members of.

• In Australia we are a member of the Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA). ATIA represents retail and corporate travel agents, tour operators, wholesalers, and consolidators in Australia. In addition to an annual financial review, we are also required to operate a client account. A client account provides clients with peace of mind, knowing their money is safeguarded. Funds deposits are to be used only for securing the required travel package elements and not for funding day to day operational costs of the agency.
