Organize Group Travel Without the Chaos
Group trips are some of the most rewarding — and most complex — bookings you will handle. Family reunions, church groups, corporate retreats, friend getaways. Pixie Dust CRM gives you a dedicated Group Trips feature that keeps everything organized in one place.
1. Creating a Group Trip
A group trip is an umbrella that ties multiple bookings together under a single name. Instead of juggling separate bookings and trying to remember which ones belong to the same trip, you create a group and link everything to it.
Name your group
Give the group a clear, recognizable name — something like “Johnson Family Reunion 2026” or “Sunshine Travel Disney Trip.” This name appears everywhere the group is referenced.
Set travel dates
Enter the overall group travel dates. Individual bookings within the group can have slightly different dates if some members are arriving early or staying late, but the group dates give you the big picture.
Assign an organizer
Designate one of your clients as the group organizer. This is typically the person coordinating the trip on the group’s behalf — the one you will communicate with most for group-level decisions.
Pro Tip
Create the group trip first, then create the individual bookings. It is easier to link bookings to an existing group during creation than to go back and link them later — though both options work.
2. Linking Bookings and Managing Members
Once your group is created, the next step is connecting individual bookings to it. Each booking in the group represents a separate room, family, or party — but they are all part of the same trip.
Linking Bookings
When you create or edit a booking, you will see a “Group Trip” field where you can select an existing group. The booking is instantly linked and appears on the group detail page. You can also link an existing booking to a group at any time from the booking detail screen.
Managing Group Members
The group detail page shows every linked booking and its associated clients at a glance. You can see who is confirmed, who is still pending, and who has paid — all in one view. As new members join or plans change, just add or remove bookings from the group.
Group Detail View
The group detail page is your command center for the entire trip. At the top you see summary stats — total travelers, total revenue, and a status breakdown. Below that is the full list of linked bookings with each client's name, booking status, travel dates, and payment status. Everything you need to manage the group is on one screen.
3. Batch Operations and Group Management
Managing a group of 20 or 30 travelers one booking at a time would be exhausting. Batch operations let you take action on multiple bookings at once, saving you serious time.
- 1
Batch status updates
Move multiple bookings to a new status at once. When the group’s final payment clears, update them all to “Final Payment” in a single action instead of editing each one individually.

Batch messaging
Send a message to every client in the group at the same time. Perfect for group-wide announcements like itinerary changes, meeting point details, or packing reminders.
- 3
Batch document sharing
Upload a document once and share it with every booking in the group. Great for group itineraries, resort maps, or welcome packets that everyone needs.
As the trip gets closer, use the group detail view to do a final check: are all bookings confirmed? Has everyone made their final payment? Are there any outstanding tasks? The group page gives you that bird's-eye view so nothing gets missed when you are coordinating for a large party.
Bottom line
Group trips do not have to be stressful. With dedicated group management, linked bookings, at-a-glance stats, and batch operations, you can handle a 30-person family reunion with the same ease as a single couple's getaway. Your clients will wonder how you keep it all together — the answer is a good system.
