Build around the experience you want
Make the package work for your trip.
Choose whether travellers depart from STV or use another confirmed gateway, then include the associated positioning costs and responsibilities. For meals, collect the actual requirements, including Jain or Swaminarayan requests only where participants specify them. Define ingredients and preparation rather than relying on a broad label. The central outline leaves space to align excursions with confirmed meal arrangements. One coordinator should approve the final rooming and service version so different households do not unintentionally issue conflicting changes.
Illustrative brief to adapt
Surat participants using more than one gateway
If households depart through different Indian airports, one consolidated arrival file should show how they join the Vietnam programme. Keep any positioning cost outside a land-only comparison. Dietary and rooming changes should go through one coordinator so the package reflects the latest agreed participant requirements.
Different choices. Different implications.
Choose the version that fits
| Choice | What changes | Quote / planning context |
|---|---|---|
| Consolidated group | One approved passenger and rooming file | Simpler revisions and communication |
| Special meal brief | Actual requirements by participant | Supplier-specific confirmation |
| Gateway choice | STV or another agreed airport | Separate positioning from Vietnam land services |

What determines the budget
Quote confirmed meals and any specialist catering separately. Cuisine preference, ingredient restrictions and preparation requirements are different specifications.
No starting fare is advertised. The relevant dates, rooming, service basis and current supplier amounts determine the proposal.
Specific to this package decision
Four questions worth resolving.
Does the package guarantee Swaminarayan preparation?
No blanket guarantee is made. Describe the exact requirements and ask each relevant supplier what it can confirm.
Can group members use different Indian airports?
It may be possible, but arrivals, transfers and participant timing must be consolidated before the land total is confirmed.
Who should send rooming updates?
Use one authorised coordinator and a controlled version. Late changes may affect rooms, vehicles and supplier conditions.
Are Ahmedabad or Mumbai transfers included?
Only if they appear in the written scope. Add independently arranged positioning travel to the overall household budget.
