On course for growth with new destinations, partners, and programmes
HEROLÉ School Trips, one of the leading providers of educational travel in the German-speaking region, is expecting a record year in 2025. With this projected growth, the total number of participants is expected to reach approximately 200,000 students travelling across Europe. This strong growth is made possible through optimised internal structures, a specialised team, and close collaboration with new and existing partners across Europe.
Recipe for success: Strong partnerships, efficient structures, and a dedicated team
In recent years, HEROLÉ has systematically expanded its network and enhanced the expertise of its team – with measurable success. These new structures enable even more efficient planning and delivery of school trips. At the same time, long-term partnerships with accommodations, programme providers, and transport companies in Germany and across Europe ensure reliable quality and sufficient capacity.
“Our growth is no coincidence – it’s the result of a clear strategy, strong partnerships, and a passionate, experienced team committed to delivering the perfect school trip. We are very grateful for the trust so many teachers place in us,” explains Carsten Herold, Managing Director of HEROLÉ School Trips.
Growth across Europe – From Berlin to Barcelona
This increased demand is not only visible at popular destinations within Germany, but also across Europe. More and more schools are discovering countries such as France, Italy, and the Netherlands for their educational travel experiences. Austria is also growing in popularity for school trips, along with long-time favorites like the United Kingdom and Spain. In response, HEROLÉ is expanding its portfolio with new programmes combining cultural experiences, outdoor adventures, and sustainability-focused educational content.
“The demand for well-organised, diverse school trips that blend education, leisure, and sustainability continues to grow – and we’re evolving alongside these expectations. Together with our partners, we are constantly developing new programmes tailored to the specific needs of teachers and students,” adds Carsten Herold.
Outlook: Continued growth expected in 2026
HEROLÉ plans to continue this road to success in 2026 – with new destinations, additional programme options, and an even stronger integration of sustainability education. HEROLÉ invites interested partners to collaborate on new offerings and benefit from the strong demand for organised educational travel.
