On a Trova trip, there will always be the 3 key parties on-trip: Travelers, Hosts, and Operators.
We will briefly go over each role of the included parties, as well as helpful information for each:
Travelers: This is you! You could be traveling by yourself, with a roommate, or even as a group. You are there to make the best of our itineraries, connect with your community, and experience the unique qualities a Trova trip provides.
Hosts: Our Hosts are the biggest drivers of our trips, but they are not there to guide or provide! Your Host will engage with you and the other travelers, enjoy the same activities, and sometimes offer a special experience or workshop if planned.
Hosts are not destination experts, and are often traveling to the destination for the first time as well! We rely on our Operators to provide the logistic services and information.
Operators: These are our local partners on the ground. They provide logistics, and a dedicated Guide for your trip, and are the ones to contact for support during the trip. These are experienced travel companies, experts in their locale. They will provide transportation, hotel accommodation, and more!
While you are on the trip, the first point of contact for any concerns or questions should be your Guide. Otherwise, we display our Operator emergency numbers on your booking page in your Portal Account.
TrovaTrip is there before, during, and after your trip to provide resources, education, and support for all of the parties above!
