Autumn group trip is cancelled - Give us feedback!

So sad and especially with all this planning work that you have now done in vain 🙁 I was very eager to follow but have not been able to register as I am waiting for a message that is delayed (and that message was crucial to whether I could follow or not) ...
However, I think the planning of the trip sounded very good! My only spontaneous comments are that 4-5 days may be better than a whole week and that it might have been good to have a clear date when to register at the latest. I think many people think about signing up but then it does not happen because they think they can wait a few more days to decide. Keep your fingers crossed that you will have the opportunity to make a new trip like this sometime in the future.

For our part, we have given up on group trips to places where we can go by motorhome. We used to travel with Lars' sister-in-law, who for at least 30 years has organised very ambitious trips by plane-bus or just bus to most destinations in Europe. They are great but we like the free motorhome life. Know how much work it is to plan and thought that there were many who were interested when you presented the trip. Too bad for you when it goes pm nothing.

Hello!
Sad that the trip did not happen for you and with all the planning it involved. I would have liked to come along but it was not possible this time.
I think 4-5 days would be better and if you were given a date in advance, it would be easier to plan your holiday.
Spring or autumn probably doesn't matter.
Some meals together are included in the price but most are on your own.
It is difficult to say how much it may cost.

Quite simple, not an attractive destination, as we go there ourselves.

Four reflection I make are:
# Nice initiative by you to organise a slightly special and niche trip.
# The detailed programme was released on 12 August, less than two months before departure. Perhaps too little notice.
# You cancel the trip because of too few registrations just five days after releasing the programme. Perhaps a little more publicity and more waiting time would have encouraged more people to sign up.
# With the reservation that I do not know what your commercial model looks like with your partners, but in order to establish yourself as an organiser, you may have to accept that the first trip is a loss-making affair. It will probably be more difficult to arrange the next trip now that the first one was cancelled.

Having said that, I really wish you good luck with the next project - I appreciate those who try to get involved in different fun projects!

Both the price level and the length were well planned. Awesome arrangement that I kind of want to steal straight off. Unfortunately, it did not suit me in terms of time, the holiday days (and savings haha) are over and I want to save comp hours for the winter trip. Summer / spring would have been better for me personally. And maybe longer planning, many people book themselves on such trips at least six months before (at least if you compare with bus companies). Hope you do not put the project aside but run another time instead!

So sad that the trip was cancelled - And since I myself now work with some travel planning and am a tour guide / guide, I know how much work it is - Everything should work out.
I knew I couldn't go because I was planning to do some travelling myself. It was a good price too.
One thought I have is that since many motorhome owners read your blog, they are travelling themselves. I know that the travel agency I work for usually combines flights and bus trips around Europe and many times they are fully booked. But not always. Some destinations draw more than others. Now I do not know if Resia also marketed the trip in some way, but maybe it would have helped.
I think it is good that some meals are included and others completely free. Reasonable for a similar trip, have looked a little, is something between 10,000 and 13,000 if most dinners are included as well as some lunches and guides and good hotels with breakfast and excursions and entrances.
Some thoughts....
Personally, I prefer to travel on my own but could have imagined the trip you have planned. And perhaps with a slightly less packed programme.

Come on, you're the best at travelling. By motorhome. Your tips cost us nothing but time to read. We have travelled with a group trip since 2005, skiing in Chamonix with our boys. Half board. Nothing else. Otherwise a group trip to Holland with Scandorama. The group limits your freedom to do what you want for the day. And we have absolutely stopped flying!!! Motorhome diesel is unfortunately still there. We are retired. Can travel when it suits us. Mostly eat in the motorhome, shop at markets and harbours. Fish, green and fresh. Keep travelling and reporting. Grateful!
P.s we have been in Istria and Slovenia several times.

Agree with the previous speaker, sorry you had to cancel. I know you are committed to doing this well and it was an interesting programme. You have worked hard for this.

Perhaps the programme itself should have been ready a little earlier when you submitted your expression of interest. I don't think the season is so important, but many of us have followed you and others on their travels there. Motorcyclists can travel there whenever they want and at any time of year, basically.
For my own part, I liked the arrangement as I probably/never go there with a motorhome but as a single person it was a bit too much in terms of cost with over two thousand per day.
Certainly several excursions, bus transport etc. Hope you come back with new ideas.

See you when you get home.

I travel by motorhome and follow you first and foremost before your travelogues and adventures you write about in that world. Group travel not my cup of tea. See it all as a new opportunity and not a defeat. Sounds like several of your followers here are pretty consistent. Think about what focus and direction you want your blog to take. You are doing a great job!

How sad for you! As a self-employed person, I understand what a lot of work you have done. For us, it's pretty much all about travelling by motorhome. The only country I would like to go on a group trip to is Israel. But then I would like to go with those who have visited the country countless times and know the whole history and the Bible story.

But how strange! I wrote a long post that just said poof! GONE!

So this is a summary ...

Wrong time to publish - in the middle of the holidays
Too short between - plan for spring instead
View on other forums - this is mostly "motorhome fanatics" judging by the responses.

There is definitely a desire and need for organised travel and I think yours sounds very good and interesting. So don't give up, here we go again!

1. One week would be just about right for me.

2. I would say autumn or spring when it comes to Europe.

3. A bit of both is fine. When it is on the programme to walk around a place on your own, you might as well have lunch on your own, but in the context of another programme it is better to do it together. Then it can feel more comfortable with joint dinners, I think.

4. Difficult to set a maximum price as it depends on the length of the trip, destination, what is included, etc. But of course you want as favourable as possible. Possibly with the possibility of different price ranges on accommodation, although I understand that there is more planning behind it as well.

5. Since the planning and final announcement of the trip was postponed, I think there were many who no longer had the opportunity to come along, maybe they already had planned something else instead. I myself was close to doing it myself when it started to approach and I almost missed the opportunity to apply for leave of absence, which with hindsight I really should have done too.. 😉 But no hard feelings, it gets like that sometimes 🙂
