Seminars International, Inc. and Performing Arts International, a travel consulting organization created in 1968, serves the needs of educational, performing arts and special interest groups. After years of increasing involvement in arranging tours for Performing Arts Groups, we formally established the Performing Arts division in 1987 to service choirs, orchestras, bands and other ensemble groups. We are a small yet broadly experienced organization, allowing for personal attention from management and operations staff, all of whom are committed to the success of each program. What makes our services unique are our professional travel consultants who work closely with each leader to develop custom-designed itineraries; the management of in-depth programming; our attention to detail with all arrangements; and the international contacts available through our worldwide partner network. The essence of our service is that, through consultation, we do what each client asks us to do. Creative program planners begin by working with the ensemble director to design travel itineraries to fit the needs of the group. Once the itinerary and pricing are agreed upon, an experienced operations staff brings the details of the program to fruition. For groups of ten or more participants, services include itinerary planning, negotiation with accommodation providers, meal planning, air, land and sea transportation negotiation and coordination, guide/courier services, cultural exchange opportunities, specialized site visits and service learning opportunities.

While we understand that an international tour is all about venues and audiences, it is also about the change that happens, deep and personal inside each group, participant and director.
