Future Meetings Once your group is formed, your teachers will hold more meetings to help you prepare for your tour (in family’s homes). CETA Tours will send most of the tour preparation information to your teacher so attending these meetings will be very important. CETA Tours will send a parent handbook to students and their parents with the invoice for the second payment. It lists all information students will receive at meetings as well as tips on preparing for the tour.
