Planning Group Travel Has Never Been Easier – features by Michael Campos, Assistant Editor, Limousine, Charter & Tour Magazine

BusRates.com launched a much expanded and revamped website last month. Working with NTA and the United Motorcoach Association, the site has been expanded to include a wider spectrum of the group travel market.

BusRates.com, which for the past six years has been putting thousands of travel planners in touch with motorcoach companies, is expanding its scope to become a full-service resource for the travel industry.

BusRates.com has retained a tourism and hospitality marketing firm to promote expansion of its popular website to include tourism suppliers. The hiring of Mills Marketing Group comes as internet traffic on BusRates.com climbed to record highs in March.

More and more people are discovering the best way to find the right motorcoach company to handle their charter is conduct the search themselves.

The upgrades to the BusRates’ website provide its coach operator subscribers with new tools and options to customize and optimize their listings to receive the highest-quality leads possible.

The United Motorcoach Association has secured an agreement with its travel industry partner, the National Tour Association, to post information about BusRates.com on the home page of the NTA website.

Building a website isn’t enough to turn the power of the internet into an effective business tool, says Mark Greer, founder and CEO of BusRates.com.
