trade association of the intercity bus industry and represents the
motorcoach industry's interests in Washington, D.C. It also facilitates
relationships between North American motorcoach and tour companies and
all related segments of the travel and supplier industries and promotes
travel by motorcoach to consumers.
Over 774 million travelers elected to ride by motorcoach
last year in North America, far more than the numbers air travel has
been able to attract. "The ABA is a huge force in the travel
industry and exemplifies the perfection of multitasking," said
Sandy Dhuyvetter, executive producer and host of Tours Talk Radio.
"The association successfully balances activities that promote and
market tour companies and, at the same time, push for safety and
fairness for bus travelers and suppliers in the US and Canadian
legislative bodies. This is a top tier travel association that works
hard for both the industry and consumer, and we are always delighted to
have Peter on the program."
