Making the news: S-Trip!

S-Trip! has been making the news lately, and Grad Trip has been a hot topic with both students and parents. Let's dig deeper into what this means for the student and youth travel leader in Canada and the United States.

The company S-Trip! specializes in high school Grad Trip. They take students from across North America to tropical destinations like the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Cuba, and the Bahamas. Established by two teachers in Ottawa Canada in the mid-1970's, S-Trip! was eventually conceptualized when they found a niche market that appealed to high school students as they wanted a new and exciting way to celebrate graduating.

Their 7 core "key messages" are all about:

• Time to celebrate
• Travel to paradise
• It's all about friendship
• The ultimate Grad Trip experience
• Volunteer Abroad
• Fun & Safe
• Awesome Trip Leaders

The tradition has grown by upwards of 3000% since 2005, and is now a staple across North America. S-Trip! has also started making the news recently and has been featured in such publications as canadianbusiness.com (Article Here). They outline the S-Trip! vision, as well as highlight the fact they have won yet another Canada's Best Managed Company award. This is the 5th year in a row, and are now a "Gold Standard" member.

S-Trip! is also featured in the Toronto Sun (Article Here). They give a briefing about the history of leisure travel, S-Trip!, and where youth travel is headed in the future.

If you really want to know what S-Trip! is all about, you need to look at real reviews from real students. That's where you'll hear about the Grad Trip tradition.
