The benefits of small groups trips
You get the opportunity to make new friends instantly without worrying about the awkwardness. There is also an improved safety as compared to solo traveling. Small groups allow for more free time compared to big groups, therefore, giving time to explore more, indulge more, and enjoy more
Group travels minimize environmental impacts by having to be in one vehicle and using fewer rooms than a huge group. They also allow for rotation of events, for instance, the small group can break up to go clubbing while others want a night in and still to feel safe.
