Director’s Message
Schools from all over the globe especially in Asia have been very active in conducting Overseas School trips over the last 10 years all in the effort to globalise students in appreciating other cultures and learning from each other. G.E.L has been at the forefront of this student movement working with hundreds of schools from all over the world including Singapore. Our experience in handling school trips for more than 80,000 students from across the globe, including more than 15,000 students from Singapore, GEL has witnessed the massive growth and evolution of student travel worldwide first hand.

Our experience in this field of Overseas School Trips has allowed us to bring to you this guide to help you plan the best possible overseas school trip that will benefit your students. G.E.L uses 3 key words to ensure the best possible overseas trips, ‘Safety’, ‘Educational’ and ‘Fun’. This Guide book gives you an in-depth look into the 3 phases of Overseas School Trip from the ‘Planning’ and Execution’ to ‘Feedback’. For schools we have worked with, we thank you for the opportunity to work with you and we look forward to serving you for many more years to come, with more exciting programs and destinations.

For schools that we have not worked with, we look forward to planning a trip for you to give you the G.E.L Educational Tour experience. We look forward to this guide playing an important role in helping you achieve your goals when you organise an Overseas School Trip.
