This article forms part of the Stitch Travel Club guide. For an overview of the Travel Club and what membership includes, start with About the Stitch Travel Club.
If you have a trip in mind and want Stitch to list it, promote it, and help fill it with fellow members, this guide explains exactly how to make that happen.
A Stitch Trip is a custom group trip listed at the top of the Stitch Travel page and promoted to the wider Stitch community. The Stitch Travel team coordinates the listing with a partner travel company on your behalf.
If you want to suggest a trip idea or connect with other members about travel, see Suggesting trips and connecting with like-minded travelers — members who connect through Club discussions are welcome to organise trips independently, without involving the Stitch Travel team.
To have your trip listed as a Stitch Trip, your idea needs to meet a few criteria, and then it's as simple as sending an email.
Eligibility criteria
To have a trip listed as a Stitch Trip, it needs to meet all of the following criteria:
It needs to be a custom group trip that will be open only to Stitch members
You must have at least 5 other Stitch Members who are interested in traveling with you. These can be members you connected with through Travel Club Discussions, or friends you already know in the Stitch community.
You and the interested Members have agreed on at least a rough timeframe — for example, a month range and approximate year. An exact date is not required at this stage.
The trip must be with a travel company that Stitch Travel can work with. See the list of current travel partners below. If your company isn’t listed, feel free to reach out to travel@stitch.net, as we are always adding new travel partners based on your input.
How to submit your trip
If your trip meets the criteria above, email the Stitch Travel team at travel@stitch.net with the details of your trip idea — the destination, the travel company, your rough timeframe, and the names or profiles of the Members who are interested. The Stitch Travel team will review your submission and follow up with next steps for getting the trip listed.
Travel companies Stitch works with
Stitch works with a selection of trusted travel providers to list and coordinate trips for members. These include:
Intrepid Travel — small group tours worldwide, led by a local guide. Any trip listed on the Intrepid website can be suggested and listed on Stitch.
Auswalk — guided and self-guided walking holidays across Australia and internationally.
Trafalgar Tours — guided tours to major destinations across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and beyond.
CostSaver Tours — value-focused guided tours for members who want the experience without the extras.
AAT Kings — guided tours across Australia and New Zealand.
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises — small-ship river cruises with boutique accommodation on board.
If you see a trip on any of the sites listed above, Stitch can work with the travel partner to turn it into a custom Stitch Trip.
If your preferred travel company is not on this list, email travel@stitch.net with your suggestion — Stitch is always adding new travel partners based on Member input.
Travel companies we can’t (currently) work with
Some travel companies are not currently available for Stitch Trip listings. This may be because they don't support custom group trips, or because of restrictions related to Stitch's current travel license. This list can change, so check back for updates.
Stitch cannot currently list Stitch Trips from the following companies:
Tripadeal
HolidayMax
Inspiring Vacations
MyCruises
Cruise bookings for non-Australian members (geo-restrictions are applied to us as an Australian based and licenced agency)
Note: If the company you have in mind isn't on either list, email travel@stitch.net — the Stitch Travel team can confirm whether they can work with that provider.
