Setting the Tone
Embrace the inevitable imperfections of travel and maintain a positive attitude when things don't go according to plan. Your response to challenges sets the tone for how Travelers handle unexpected situations.
During the trip, Hosts balance enjoying activities themselves while ensuring the group's overall experience. Though not officially in charge, they act as informal leaders, fostering group cohesion and encouraging adherence to the schedule.
Remember, you're not alone in managing issues that arise. Your local Guide is trained to handle emergencies and should be your go-to resource for resolving any on-the-ground concerns.
Staying on Track
Keep Travelers engaged and activities running smoothly by gently reminding them of the schedule and ensuring timely transitions between events. When it comes to navigating foreign currency, research local customs and prepare your group for using cash and tipping appropriately. Encourage Travelers to exchange currency before departure to avoid last-minute hassles.
Taking Care of Yourself
Prioritize your well-being amidst the excitement of Hosting. Recognize when you need a moment to recharge or focus on content creation to maintain your brand presence. Ensure any downtime aligns with group activities to balance personal needs with group dynamics effectively.
Engage Your Community
Encourage Travelers to provide feedback post-trip to enhance future experiences and earn rewards for their contributions. Your attentiveness to their input can shape future trips and solidify your reputation as a top-notch Host.
Feel free to share their feedback with us, or direct them to fill out their post-trip survey to leave positive (and negative) feedback about their experience. This is how Trova grows and makes educated decisions about our product.
