Motorcoach Group Tourist Research
Tours rack up impressive numbers

What is the economic impact of motorcoach group tourism in Travel South member states?  Close to $30 billion. In 2016, close to 200,000 people were directly supported or worked for firms that supplied goods and services to companies working with motorcoach passengers.

Last year, accommodations in Travel South states provide motorcoach tourists with an estimated 14.5 million room nights annually.

Check out this fascinating study from the ABA Foundation on the economic impact motorcoaches have on the South. (https://goo.gl/MhLBaj)
