and have you pay as the fees are incurred. Just be sure to ask if these fees are included or are separate
before booking.

Do I need to book the hotel room for the bus operator?
Yes, for overnight trips, it is customary to book the operator's hotel room, but most hotels will comp the

in group sales at the hotel to ensure the operator's room gets comped.
