Tour Director
Sample: Seat Rotation
Create a boarding card showing seat numbers for each seat, using a piece of loose leaf paper or cardboard. This will allow fair distribution of seats instead of one person always getting the front seat with the view. Make sure people choosing to sit together, choose seats on the same side of the coach (1A and 1B sitting together and 2C and 2D sitting together).
Two or three times a day, tour members will shift seats. This is done to ensure everyone gets a front seat at some time during the tour. It is also a good way for people to get to know one another.
Seats are best rotated immediately following a meal break or sight seeing stop. Before disembarking for the meal or attraction, the tour director will advise the passengers to collect their belongings and the right side of the bus will move back one row and the left side of the bus will all move forward one row. That way, friends or couples may still sit together but will get a different view and will meet new people across the aisle.
