India is one of the regions in the world that has a very rich heritage. This is portrayed in its diverse culture and tourism attraction centers all over the world. No wonder we have so many local and international tourists who stream into Kerala each year to have a taste of this beauty. There are several tour companies in the region but all of them don’t offer the same level of service delivery. You need to understand that the brand you choose will determine your level of satisfaction. Here are some of the questions you need to ask while choosing a tour company in Kerala.
How well do you Understand the region?
Tourism tends to be a very mercurial business that is greatly affected by economic downtowns, international incidences, inflation, and pandemic scares. Only trust a company that has displayed its ability to ride above these global conditions. Companies that have been in existence for a long period possess a lot of knowledge that you can derive from and have excellent negotiating clout with various service providers. This kind of experience has helped them to fine tune their services to offer highly-efficient products.

Where is the Company and its Tour Guided Based?
It is very good to come across a tour company that thinks globally but has a local basis in the region you are touring. Choosing a locally based company that has local guides will give you an assurance that the provide has his fingers on the pulse of the new and interesting happenings in the industry and region and has an active engagement with the culture. Having a global presence with agents and staffs in your country of residence will help the company to understand your expectations and the guides can interpret the inevitable cultural nuances that may arise.
What is the maximum size of the tour?
The size of the tour has a significant impact on your ability to authentically engage in the culture of the state you will be visiting. The travel preferences of individuals vary and small groups are appropriate for those people who want a lot of discretion, adventure and freedom in the adventure travel arena. This independent travel comes with the benefits of leaving the logistics to another person. large groups may be forced to settle for itineraries on the basis of logistics and not optimal experience.
Does the Company subcontract or run the tour?
What most clients don’t know is that some tour companies subcontract the trips to other tour and travel companies. You need a lot of communication and planning while organizing for a high-quality trip. It is critical to have a clear understanding of the person who will be in charge of your experience. Delegating the responsibility to another party can result into the loss of the original message along the way because of the communication barriers. Look for a company that will administer your trip from the onset up to the end.
