• Fastest Growing - Bus tours are the fastest growing segment of the travel and tourism market. By the turn of the century, in some eastern cities, bus tours represented nearly 30% of the tourism market and this percentage was growing.
• Multiple Sales - While a sale into the corporate travel or family travel market may yield one, two or a few customers, a single sale into the bus tour market yields a group. Smaller groups may include 15 people but the new 45-foot motor coaches carry more than 50 potential customers. In some cases, multiple bus tours bring your potential customers well into three figures. A single bus tour spends anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 per day depending on size and itinerary.
• More for your Money - More and more people, both young and old, are opting to join bus tour groups. Eliminating the need to plan the trip and drive makes the tour more enjoyable. Because of group sales, the bus tour tends to offer better seats, better food and better accommodations than an individual can often obtain at the same price.
• Independent - Bus Tours Magazine is indepedent of any group or organization and can therefore cover the entire bus and group tour industry in the United States and Canada. Both the editorial and the circulation is not limited by memberships. Bus tour planners who do not join the national associations read Bus Tours Magazine.
• Past Experience - Bus Tours Magazine knows bus tours. Our editor has spent years working in the industry and is the senior editor in the bus industry. He has planned tours, served as a tour guide and driven tour coaches. He has also worked for and owned bus companies that planned and operated bus tours.
