The pitch.
Your pitch should focus on the experience, not just the price. Memorise this script — it is the exact words our own consultants use.
basic pitch / say it like this"Are you and your friends planning your next international group trip? How about experiencing the Indian Himalayas? The Himalayan Ramble offers group tours to Manali, one of India's most beautiful Himalayan destinations, starting from approximately US$500 per person. The tour is designed for groups looking for mountains, nature, culture and an authentic Himalayan experience. If you have a group of 10-12 or more people interested in travelling, I can connect you with our team in India to discuss the details."
