This is the entire sentence, but i can give a little context. This is the description of the itinerary for a group tour. It is listed under the sub-heading "Travel Agency Information". This is for a BE audience. Any suggestions?

Explanation:
or: Advertisement for group tours

Your text seems to be a B2B text, but the "Gruppenausschreibung" is what the travel agency does. It's offering/advertising the tour.

group announcements


Explanation:
"Ausschreiben" is used in the sense of 'bekanntmachen' (=to announce), perhaps ?


By 'group announcements' I mean announcements that are to be made/sent to all members in a (travel) group.



Shell folders are blank folders interspersed with pre-printed photographs and are provided free or at low costs by airlines or national tourist offices to encourage tour operators / travel agents to run programmes using their services or destinations. Tour operators / travel agents can overprint a suitable text describing their programmes. Since only the text needs to be added...

group tour (program/offering)


Explanation:
as a German native speaker, this sounds like a tour program offered to groups, also confirmed by German websites

Die Erklärung von Courtney ist nicht logisch - "Ihre" und "Sie" bezieht sich m.E. auf dieselbe Person, z.B. einen Reiseveranstalter, der im Hotel am Zielort für seine Reisegruppe einen Zusatzausflug (group tour) buchen möchte.
